Wonsook Kim School of Art Research Colloquium

Co-sponsored by University Galleries and the Wonsook Kim School of Art

The Wonsook Kim School of Art Research Colloquium offers an inclusive platform for faculty and staff engaged in traditional academic research and studio production of all types. Normal yearly programing is organized by the colloquium coordinators based on thematic groupings as faculty and staff interests evolve. This series highlights the wide range of experiences among the School’s studio artists, art educators, graphic designers, and art historians, that helps us produce exceptionally versatile students.

This series will play an important long-term role in the overarching conversation that makes the Wonsook Kim School of Art an enriching place to experiment, learn, and grow.
