VCUarts is hosting dozens of artists from across the fine, design and performing arts as visiting artists this spring. These artists come to the classroom for one-on-one discussions with students and faculty, participate in critiques, and give public lectures.
“This semester’s visiting artist lecture series comprises exceptional talents from all walks of life,” says VCUarts Dean Joseph H. Seipel. “These artists have taken the time to share their vast, diverse perspectives and personal experience with our students. The wealth of knowledge these artists share with VCUarts is paramount to our school’s success.”
The line-up of visiting artists includes musicians, curators, sound artists, photographers, documentarians, educators, dancers and painters, among others. The current schedule of visiting artist lectures for the spring semester is as follows:
