Since the early 2000s, the Visiting Artist Lecture Series has
invited nationally recognized artists, critics, and curators
to campus for public lectures and interactions with the Master of
Fine Arts program. This series is housed in the College of
Letters and Science and organized by the Department of Art and
Art History studio faculty and M.F.A. studio art candidates.
Public lectures are at 4:30 pm and are free and open to the
public.
Lectures will be held primarily in the Community Education Room
at the Manetti Shrem Museum, UC Davis, unless otherwise noted.
