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.
You can also hear from guest expert artists, designers, and innovators across our program areas who will share their insight and answer questions from the CCAD community during interactive Instagram Live sessions on @ccadedu for CCAD goes live. These sessions come as part of CCAD’s ongoing commitment to scholarship, inquiry, and creative thinking in which the college regularly brings in leading artists, scholars, and thinkers to share their work and their insights with our students and the community as a whole.
Here, find information about both past and upcoming Visiting Artist & Scholars events, as well as a selection of the videos from the CCAD goes live series.
