Art Visiting Artists

Art Forum is a course designed to expose students to the work of active professional artists and people working in related fields, in order to gain an understanding of their influences, thinking processes, and methods of working. Some of the speakers at Art Forum lectures may discuss sensitive and controversial topics that may be upsetting to some individuals.

In addition to attending artist lectures, students may earn participation points for being active in the art community in many ways, such as participating in art workshops, visiting art museums, attending art conferences, completing the Emporia First Friday Art Walk passport, and exhibiting their artwork.

Mark your calendars for the three Art Forum lectures this semester. All lectures will be on the third floor of the Lyon County History center, unless otherwise indicated. The LCHC is located in the heart of Emporia, at 711 Commercial Street, and all lectures take place in conjunction with Emporia First Friday (EFF) on the following dates and times:
