The 50th Annual Cleveland Symposium was a rousing success! The event was co-organized by third-year PhD students Cecily Hughes and Madeline Newquist and presented by the Department of Art History and Art at Case Western Reserve University (CWRU) and the Cleveland Museum of Art (CMA). The two-day symposium explored themes of time and temporality in the creation, reception, and afterlives of objects and events in the visual arts. In addition to twelve wonderful graduate student papers—including one on medieval Jewish manuscripts delivered by our very own Claudia Haines—symposium attendees were treated to tours and workshops led by CMA and CWRU staff and students; a roundtable on the topic of museum studies and the joint program between the museum and the university; and two inspiring, insightful, and thought-provoking keynote lectures, delivered by Professor Heather Pulliam, from the University of Edinburgh, and Dr. Sonya Rhie Mace, from the Cleveland Museum of Art. Congratulations and thank you to all participants, sponsors, volunteers, and attendees. And a special thank you to Cecily, Maddie, and Claudia!
