Sharing Research, Work, Processes & Creative Ideas

The VCUarts Lecture Series, formerly known as the Faculty Lecture Series, now serves as a platform for faculty and alumni to showcase their research and creative endeavors. It offers a unique space for them to connect with a broader audience, extending their work beyond the university to engage the wider community. Through lectures on interdisciplinary collaboration, research, culture, and innovative practices, the series is intended to inspire conversation and passionate debate.

Thank you to Quirk Hotel Richmond for supporting the VCUarts Lecture Series.
