Join us for a limited-edition series of virtual conversations, highlighting select contemporary alumni artists and their work. Each week, a featured guest will discuss details about their process, presentation and inspiration. They’ll also share stories about their time as students. These discussions will be moderated by staff from the Syracuse University Art Museum and faculty from the College of Visual and Performing Arts (VPA).
Developed to inspire our Orange community, this series is hosted in collaboration with the Syracuse University Art Museum, VPA and SU in NYC. Students, alumni, parents, faculty, staff and friends are all invited!
