About Us

The Asterisk* Journal of Art and Art History is concerned with providing an outlet for critical discourse around art for undergraduates, whether it be through practice or theory. Based in New Haven at Yale University, Asterisk* is one of the few peer-reviewed, intercollegiate, bi-annually published art and art history journals at the undergraduate level. We are dedicated to highlighting art historical narratives shedding light on topics that are often left to the margins. As part of our selection process, we reach out to over eighty different universities in search of high-quality, subversive essays and artworks that provoke new ways of thinking. We try to publish bi-annually with workshops, meetings and events hosted throughout the semester.
