The Visual Arts Visiting Artist Series program brings in a diverse variety of artists for campus talks and public gallery presentations that include visual artists, filmmakers, sculptors, painters, playwrights, essayists, interactive and digital media artists. Each artist presents a talk to students in the BFA program and the public, as well as offering critiques to students in the 4th year of the Visual Arts Program.

The Visiting Artist Series will be held in-person on Mondays at 10 am in the University Theatre (ADM 026) as part of the CCS 150 Creative and Critical Art Theory class. These talks are open to the public.

Join us on Monday, February 26th for a talk with Katherine Pickering, who is based in Kelowna, British Columbia, on Okanagan-Syilx territory, where she is a Lecturer in painting and drawing in the Faculty of Creative and Critical Studies, Department of Creative Studies.

Pickering’s artistic practice investigates the language of abstract painting through assemblages and other sculptural gestures. Pickering received a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Visual Arts from the University of British Columbia, Okanagan campus in 2006 and a Master in Fine Arts in Studio Art from Concordia University, Montréal, QC in 2009.
