Visiting Artist and Scholar Lecture Series

Connecting students with minds that shape art

Each year, the Department of Art, Art History and Design hosts a vibrant slate of visiting artists, designers and scholars who enrich the academic and creative life of the program. These distinguished guests represent a wide range of contemporary practices and critical disciplines and they engage directly with graduate students through public lectures and presentations, graduate critiques and one-on-one studio visits, classroom discussions and workshops. This program gives students regular, personalized access to artists and thinkers who are actively shaping the landscape of contemporary art, creating ongoing opportunities for dialogue, mentorship, and networking beyond the university.
