visiting artist
Short-term creative guest
A visiting artist is someone brought temporarily to an institution—typically a university, museum, or arts organization—to teach, create work, or engage with students and the community.
The position implies prestige: institutions invite artists whose work or reputation enriches the program.
The ceramics department has a visiting artist coming next month to lead a workshop.
