Visiting artists are often available for individual critiques with graduate students on the day following their lecture/presentation. Opportunities for individual critiques are on a first come/first serve basis. The program does not restrict critique slots based on discipline/media. Please check postings or call the Visiting Artists Program office to determine which artists are available for critiques. Sign up sheets are posted a week prior to the date for scheduled critiques and are located on the bulletin board at the Visiting Artists Program office in the Sharp building, Suite 1220. Announcements about critique opportunities are emailed to all SAIC email accounts and SAIC Broadcast News.
The Visiting Artists Program encourages all students to take advantage of its programming. Visiting Artists Program events are free to the School’s students, faculty, and staff with a current SAIC/AIC ID. Most take place at 6:00 p.m. in the SAIC Auditorium, 280 S. Columbus Drive.
