Art & Design Forum

Alexander Rosenburg, 2023 Procter Fellow.

Art & Design Forum brings together staff, students, alumni, and friends across the sector to share the latest work in artistic practice, design, and art-historical scholarship in a program of lunchtime talks. All are welcome to join us for informal and inspiring conversations covering a diverse range of topics, with a stellar list of speakers from across the ANU campus community and beyond.

The series also provides a public forum for the Sir William Dobell Visiting Chairs and Fellows, generously supported by the Sir William Dobell Art Foundation, hosting leading scholars in art history and related disciplines from across the world.

The School of Art & Design gratefully acknowledges the support of the ANU Visual Arts Endowment. 


Art & Design Forum is in-person, unless stated otherwise. 

The series is convened by Dr Sarah Rodigari.
