Visiting Artist Program
Nationally and internationally acclaimed visual artists and art collectives visit our campus to present lectures about their work and professional practices. Visiting artists and designers have a chance to meet with the students and the larger Rutgers University–Camden community to continue the dialogue about perspectives on contemporary art. The main theme of our Spring 2026 lecture series is Patterns.
All lectures are free and open to the public. These lectures will be held from 12:45 pm to 1:45 pm (free period) in the Fine Arts Building, Room 110.
