Media Arts Visiting Artist Series
MAD Talks!
Media Arts Department Visiting Artist Series
Made possible by the generous support of the Henry Stalick Foundation Grant.
The LCC Media Arts Department is proud to present our ongoing series of remarkable artists, designers, performers, producers, directors, photographers, concept artists, tech entrepreneurs, and many more. Each term we offer at least two up-close talks with expert practitioners in the creative disciplines. Our guests bring the wisdom gained from years and decades of experience in their field.
We hope you can join us for these live presentations. But if not we’re happy to provide both a livestream of each event and a video archive of the MAD talks. Find a topic you like, get a cup of tea, and sit back and enjoy the wisdom generously shared by our visiting artists.
A special thanks again to Henry Stalick.
A huge thanks to Media Arts Instructional Specialist Terry Holloway for constructing our livestream system and producing these wonderful shows.
