Meet the fall 2021 visiting artists

Durational visiting artist programs at Stanford offer opportunities for leading visual and performing artists to engage deeply with students and faculty, and share their work with the broader Stanford community. Among the fall 2021 cohort are several artists who were invited to extend their original terms due to the pandemic. In addition to visiting artists with extended engagements, Stanford hosts dozens more who lecture, preform and exhibit throughout the year. Check the university calendar for all upcoming arts events.
