In the School of Art, teaching and research are supplemented by a wide range of lectures, workshops and community activities by Dodd faculty and graduate students, as well as several endowed lecture series that bring extraordinary visiting artists and scholars to campus. Open to the public, these lectures are an integral part of the culture in the School of Art and are an essential facet of education in the fields of art, design, art history and art education.

 

Visiting Artist and Scholar Lecture Series

The Visiting Artist and Scholar Lecture series has brought over 80 distinguished guests to the Lamar Dodd School of Art at the University of Georgia since 2002. Visiting Artists and Scholars spend three days on campus interacting with students and faculty, the culmination of which is a public lecture on the subject of the artist’s or scholar’s work.
