The expertise of Herron's faculty is extended by a strong program of regional, national, and international visiting artists and lecturers. These programs enhance students' academic careers and educate a broader public. About 12 artists per year are invited to Indianapolis through the visiting artist series.
Visits vary from one day to several weeks.
These artists are in Indianapolis for residencies, to work in the classroom with Herron students, conducting workshops and often, to collaborate on the creation of artworks. They occasionally meet with public school children through Herron's art education program. Visiting artists have included Terry Allen, Garo Antreasian, Richard Anuskiewicz, Christopher Brown, John Buck, Deborah Butterfield, Wendell Castle, Christo, Patrick Dougherty, Rackstraw Downes, Jeanne Dunning, The Guerrilla Girls, Laurie Haycock-Makela, Kathryn Hixson, Brad Holland, Allen Hori, Robert Indiana, Alfredo Jaar, Mitchell Kane, Joyce Kozloff, Alfred Leslie, Donald Lipski, Tom Loeser, Truman Lowe, Phyllis McGibbon, Duane Michals, Dennis Oppenheim, Italo Scanga, James Surls, Ursula Von Rydingsvard, and Frances Whitehead.
