The Graduate Art Seminar lecture series is a forum for graduate students, members of the ArtCenter community and the general public to enter into dialog with internationally recognized artists, critics, and art historians. The Seminar—coordinated during the Spring term by faculty member Jack Bankowsky—is a core component of ArtCenter’s Graduate Art program.
