Department of Art

Visiting Artist Series

Peter Schjeldahl visiting with grad students at the Tamarus studios

Each fall semester, the Department of Art presents a lecture series by artists, curators, and critics. All lectures are free and open to the public. The lectures are held in conjunction with a repeatable seminar course for undergraduate and graduate students, ART 498/700, which in the spring semester is taught by the artists in residence.

Lectures are held in room 102 of the Robert L. Bigelow Physics Building, directly east of Ham Fine Arts and adjacent to the Environmental Protection Agency buildings on Harmon Drive.

Peter Schjeldahl, poet and art critic for The New Yorker, lectured and visited with students in studios as part of the Visiting Artist and Scholar Lecture Series, Spring 2008. Pictured above, Schjeldahl talks with graduate students at the Tamarus Studios.
