The Visiting Artist Program is a vital program that serves to educate and foster a greater understanding and appreciation of contemporary art through critical discourse. This program highlights several artists throughout the academic year from all over the country and brings them to Nashville to interact on a very intimate level with students and the community over a period of 2-3 days.
The artists lecture, perform studio visits, hold workshops, and exhibit their work in the gallery. It is a decidedly eclectic program that showcases artists working in all media including sound, video, performance, painting, sculptors, and photographers as well as critics and art writers. Lectures and events with the artists are held 2-3 times each semester.
The VAP series is generously sponsored by the Cracker Barrel Foundation of Lebanon, Tennessee.
All events in this series are free and open to the public.
