New York Renaissance Consortium

The New York Renaissance Consortium has been established to take advantage of the wealth of Renaissance teaching and research in the New York metropolitan area and to create a network through which information about Renaissance events can be shared both through a webpage and listserv. It is intended to facilitate a community among scholars, students, curators, and others with interest in the arts of the Renaissance and will also hold a number of events each season.
