For the past several years the Visiting Artist Program in the Department of Art at Utah State University has grown. The program brings nationally, and now internationally, known artist to USU's campus for up to five days at a time to teach and interact with students, faculty and members of the community.
All guests offer an open lecture and attendance continues to climb.
Every year we are able to bring in artists at the top of their field. This year's opening guest is a good example. Arthur Danto, a philosopher, art critic and writer opens the Visiting Artist Program 2000-2001. He speaks at USU Monday, Sept. 11. It is valuable to include someone who writes about art as well.
