Visiting Artists Lecture Series

The Visiting Artists Program is a student-run organization that exists to enrich and enhance student and faculty experience at PAFA. Individuals from the local, national and international art community whose work represents a variety of art practices are invited to participate in lectures, critiques, performances and/or demonstrations for the benefit of the PAFA community.

Thursdays, 11:30 a.m.-1 p.m.
Hamilton Auditorium, Historic Landmark Building

Respected up-and-coming artists, who are on campus to spend time with PAFA students, also give lectures about their own work. See below for a list of past Visiting Artists.

Also learn more about our Art at Lunch Program, which features discussions and lectures with scholars and artists on a variety of topics.
