The exhibition reflects not only the excellence of current studio art practice at Stanford but also connotes the exchange of ideas among faculty and students and the quality of the art experience on campus. “Stanford's art faculty continues a tradition that began with the founding of the university in the late 19th century. Studio artists have flourished at Stanford, and today's faculty is particularly strong,” said Cantor Arts Center's Freidenrich Director Thomas K. Seligman. A series of 12 public lectures by the artists starts September 17 and continues through December 3, presented in the Cantor Arts Center auditorium at 7 p.m. on Thursdays (excluding November 26) and also on Wednesday, October 14. Documentary films will be screened prior to presentations by the faculty filmmakers. A complete schedule for this series can be found on the Center's Web site: museum.stanford.edu.
