At MassArt

Visiting Artists & Lectures

A symposium in an auditorium features a large screen displaying L.A. Rebellion Symposium with images of two visiting artists. Three people are seated onstage, engaged in conversation, offering insightful lectures. The audience watches intently from their seats.

A man speaks at a podium in a room adorned with various artworks and portraits on the walls, reminiscent of a MassArt gallery. Several people stand around, listening attentively as if anticipating an auction. The atmosphere is informal yet focused.

Visiting artists enrich MassArt through lectures, residencies, and exhibitions, offering students diverse professional perspectives.

Through lectures, slide talks, gallery walkthroughs, symposia, and residencies, visiting artists share their perspectives on practicing their chosen craft. Visits often coincide with exhibitions of artists’ work, granting MassArt students the unique opportunity to participate in mounting professional installations.

While some visits are intimately tied to curricula, others are designed to fill a gap or broaden the student experience. Unless otherwise noted, events are free and open to the public.
