Artists at the Institute

Taking advantage of the Institute’s location in one of the world’s leading art centers, the Graduate Student Association invites artists to discuss their work at the Institute.  Begun in 1983, the series normally includes two presentations per semester. The 2023 - 2024 student coordinators are Kaylee Nok, Grace Pinnella and Sofia Zamboli.
