Visiting Artist Harrell Fletcher, Tour & Lecture, 9/13 & 9/14

Happy fall semester!

Faculty Erina Duganne and Jason Reed, from the School of Art & Design, are hosting visiting artist Harrell Fletcher next week on Tuesday September 13th and Wednesday September 14th.

10 selected Art & Design students have arranged a tour of places on campus or within the San Marcos community as part of a social practice assignment given to them in advance by Fletcher. For each location on the tour, the students found someone who works there who will give a short talk about the site and the work that she/he does there.

The places on the tour, the person talking, and the times are listed on the image to the right. The image below the list is a map of the places on the tour Tuesday, 9/13.
