Studio VU Lecture Series
The Department of Art annually invites national and international voices in creative, curatorial, and critical-thought fields to the Vanderbilt campus through the Studio VU Lecture Series. Each visiting lecturer has a recognized career in visual arts, performance art, art criticism, and/or a combination. In addition to giving a lecture, the visiting speaker conducts one-on-one critiques with senior art major students.
The Studio VU Lecture Series began in 2007. The Department of Art would like to thank all collaborators, cosponsors, and community members for their continued support for the Studio VU program.
All lectures are free and open to the public, unless otherwise noted.
