Visiting Artists & Scholars Program
Each year, the School of Art hosts a vibrant slate of visiting artists 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.
