Admission Info
Speaker Series events are all free-of-charge with seating available on a first-come, first-serve basis.

Through the Speaker Series, CCS Bard brings distinguished artists, scholars, and curators to campus to present on their work. Speaker Series talks are held within Classroom 102 at CCS Bard unless otherwise noted. All talks are free and open to the public.

Lucy will chart the field of Exhibition Histories, in relation to the practice of Curatorial Studies and the discipline of Art History. She will address parameters and possibilities, while asking: How have we got here? And where might we go?
