OPEN TO THE PUBLIC | 7:00-8:30 PM | Each term, Bennington offers a program of lectures by visiting arts professionals: artists, curators, historians and critics, selected to showcase the diversity of contemporary art practices. Designed to enhance classroom activities of various disciplines in the visual arts and to stimulate campus dialogue around topical issues of contemporary art, these thematically connected presentations will build on each other, offering students the opportunity to explore ideas from multiple perspectives over the course of the term.

The theme for VALS this term is Drawing from History/Designs on the Past, Contemporary Art and its Origins. 

Events are free and open to the public.
