March is the perfect time to explore different art forms through the 2018 School of Art Lecture Series.
How do you interact with ceramics? Have you heard how artists are redefining printmaking? What do you think about when you hear that an artist gained rare permission to paint in the Italian catacombs?
The School of Art at the J. William Fulbright College of Arts and Sciences will showcase multiple visiting artists on these topics this March as part of the 2018 School of Art Lecture Series.
All events are free and open to the public, and will be at 5:30 p.m. in Hillside Auditorium, room 206. The month-long series of events include:
