visiting artists

Guest creative professionals

Visiting artists are creative professionals—painters, musicians, sculptors, performers—invited to work temporarily at an institution such as a university, museum, or cultural center.

They typically teach workshops, give lectures, or create new work while in residence: The gallery's visiting artists program brings in three painters each year.

Distinguished from permanent faculty or staff by the limited duration of their engagement.
