We love our art scholars ❤

Scholar. Mentor. Professor. Colleague. Friend. Family. Danielle Joyner is deeply missed.
Many thanks to all those who gathered in celebration of Danielle’s life last Saturday, April 25, 2026.
Anyone interested in honoring Prof. Joyner's legacy is invited to make a donation in her name to Lawrence's Museum Travel Fund for Art History. The travel fund is something that Danielle helped spearhead and, in fact, the trip to New York that she was on with colleagues and students when she passed was made possible from the fund's initial endowment. She strongly believed that there was no substitute for seeing art in person and loved sharing the experience with students, alumni, and, really, anyone who was willing to go look at art with her.

Please join us...
