Visiting artist and scholar series
Critical discourse
Each year, the School of Art invites a diverse group of nationally and internationally recognized artists, scholars and practitioners to present their research as part of the Visiting Artist and Scholar Lecture Series. This dynamic program provides students the opportunity to participate in critical discourse, develop their knowledge and appreciation of contemporary art and culture, and build a professional network as they learn from and connect with professionals active in the field.
