Public Programming

Shaping Experiences

Our Public Programming series organized by the Fine Arts, Communication and Performing Arts Departments offer students, faculty, staff, and the broader community an opportunity to explore their engagement with the arts and the dynamic field of communication and media studies.

Through an interdisciplinary approach, our programming strives to create, support, and advance robust, collaborative discourse that is transformative and thought-provoking; and of interest to the region and the campus community. Examples of our curated programming series range from lectures, symposia, performances, and temporary installations. All events are free and open to the public.

Dan Cameron: The Useful Curator

Monday, April 3, 7:00 PM

Main Stage Theatre
Arts and Sciences Building, 2nd Floor
3415 Broadway, Gary IN 46408

New York-based independent curator and art critic Dan Cameron will give a public talk entitled The Useful Curator. The lecture explores the changing meanings of art over time and how the curator’s role has transformed along with it. Part of Cameron’s thesis is that many things that most engage him today about his work were unclear during the early years of his career and only became more evident over time. From organizing the first LGBTQ exhibition in 1982 to founding Prospect New Orleans in 2007 in the wake of Hurricane Katrina and his current work creating an exhibition space in southern Chile, Cameron considers the development of exhibitions to be a kind of nomadic laboratory for new ideas, and a site of ongoing experimentation.
