Visiting Artists & Scholars
CCAD brings in a number of guest artists and scholars every semester. These artists teach workshops and seminars, engage in one-on-one mentoring and studio visits with graduate and undergraduate students, and lecture as part of CCAD’s Visiting Artists & Scholars series—a lecture series that is free and open to the public.
