In honor of its 50th anniversary, Krannert Art Museum presents OPENSTUDIO: a series of public programs in conjunction with artist residencies intended to forge interdisciplinary learning and cultural exchange between students, faculty, the community, and international visiting artists.
Sponsored by the Frances P. Rohlen Visiting Artist Series
Transforming the main exhibition gallery into a learning laboratory, visiting artists together with University of Illinois students and faculty inhabit and create active zones for viewing, discussion, and experimentation.
Activities include artist-led discussion sessions and workshops, as well as public performances resulting from the artists' collaborations with the campus community. This direction introduces a new development in the activities of the museum, transforming galleries into spaces for experimental art and exhibition-making.
