The Arts

Throughout the academic year, the art departments invite a diverse range of artists, performers, and writers for short visits and long-term residencies. They present their work in the form of exhibitions, readings, performances, lectures, and artist’s talks.
While on campus, they also conduct master classes and workshops, and participate in critiques and informal discussions with students.
