Visiting Artist Program

Academic Programs

The Visiting Artist Program (VAP) is a student-run initiative that brings an exceptional group of local, national, and international artists to PAFA each semester for lectures, critiques, and workshops. The program introduces students and the public to a wide range of artistic practices and perspectives, while encouraging thoughtful conversation around contemporary art and ideas.

All lectures are free for PAFA students, faculty, and staff, and offered on a Pay What You Wish basis for the public. Programs are presented in a mix of online and in-person formats, with in-person lectures held at PAFA’s Rhoden Arts Center.

PAFA students do not need to register for these programs; invitations to online lectures will be shared via student email. Members of the public are welcome to attend by registering through the events page.

PAFA is licensed through the Pennsylvania State Board of Private Licensed Schools. Program structure and details are subject to standard academic and accreditation review and may be updated accordingly.
