Meet the Artist

The Meet the Artist series allows audiences to enrich their understanding of work in the Hirshhorn’s collection and temporary exhibitions by hearing directly from nationally and internationally recognized contemporary artists.

The Hirshhorn hosts Meet the Artist lectures periodically throughout the year. Participants represent the full spectrum of our exhibitions, with artists whose work is featured in our special exhibitions and permanent collection.

Lectures are generally held in the Ring Auditorium on the Lower Level of the Museum and are typically recorded for podcast and made available on iTunes U.
