The Christel DeHaan Family Foundation Visiting Artist Lecture brings prominent contemporary artists to come to Herron to present their work and ideas.
Established through the generosity of Kerry Dinneen & Sam Sutphin, this lecture series supports a visiting artist or scholar who engages with students in the classroom or studio and provides a public lecture.
"I want to make an impact on the community that surrounds me and help make the arts accessible to our residents," said Jane Fortune when she established this series to bring internationally acclaimed female artists to Herron.
The Leibman Lecture is a joint program of Herron School of Art and Design, Kelley School of Business, and Robert H. McKinney School of Law at IU Indianapolis. Blend the visual arts, business, and law, past Leibman forum topics have ranged from the documentary The Art of The Steal to a presentation by the U.S. Department of Treasury on engraving practices.
Established in honor of the founding instructor of Herron's Furniture Design Program, Professor Phillip Tennant and through the generosity of James W. and Nancy C. Smith, this lecture series supports a visiting artist or scholar from the fields of furniture design, fabrication, or a closely related field.
