Visiting Artist Program
This student-run program brings an outstanding roster of local, national and international artists to PAFA each semester for lectures, critiques, and workshops. The program exposes students and the public to a range of artistic approaches and fosters discussion about contemporary art and ideas.
VAP Artist Lecture Schedule
All lectures are free and take place from 5pm - 6pm. Some lectures will be held online and others will be held in person in PAFA's Rhoden Arts Center. See the Summer 2024 list of artists for more information.
PAFA students do not need to register for these public programs—check your student email account for invitations to the online lectures. The public may attend by registering through the museum events page.
