Artist-In-Residence Program (AIR)

Embracing the “Learning Beyond” philosophy adopted by Stevenson University, the Art Department invites outside professionals to the University twice a year to lecture to the Baltimore design community and conduct workshops with SU students. The 3-day Artist-in-Residence workshops have become an exciting event for Visual Communication Design students each semester at Stevenson. With a broad diversity of national and internationally established guest artists, the events are unique in subject and provide experiential learning for the students. As always, the workshops are fun, intense, and full of creativity.
