Each term the VCUarts Department of Painting + Printmaking invites a distinguished visiting artist to work with MFA students, both in the graduate Seminar, and in one – one studio tutorials. These individuals bring a fresh perspective to the program, and connect our students with the real world of visual arts practice.
