Art 505 - Visiting Artists Lec Series

Each semester, the Department of Art offers a series of lectures by nationally recognized artists, scholars, curators, critics, gallerists, and writers. In addition to the noontime public lectures, the guest speakers also engage in conversations with students and conduct studio visits. Often based on recommendations by graduate students, the research and practice of the guests are pertinent to graduate students? own interests. Organized by the Visiting Artist Committee, which includes graduate student representatives, the lecture series broadens and deepens contemporary discourse in art practice and theory. Students will be required to engage in readings and/or audiovisual materials in preparation for each lecture events, some of which may be designated by the visiting speakers. Students must also post comments and questions that pertain to the prep materials in advance of the lectures.
