The Department of Art and the Barrick Museum welcome artist Jim Skalman as a guest speaker of the 2015 UNLV Visiting Artist Lecture Series. 

James Skalman is a San Diego artist who has done multi-media, site-specific installations in museums and other venues during his 30 year career. His recent work sits at a nexus of sculptural and pictorial space, landscape painting, photography, film, and the American Southwest. 

The UNLV Visiting Artists Lecture Series features a diverse array of some of the most compelling artists and thinkers working in the art world today. This important program brings both established and emerging artists to campus to discuss their work in public lectures and to offer individual critiques to our BFA and MFA students. This program has established itself as an invaluable resource for UNLV students and the public alike. The primary mission of the Visiting Artists Lecture Series is to educate, inspire and foster a greater understanding and appreciation of contemporary art through visual presentations and discourse.

Lectures take place every Thursday evening starting at 7 p.m. This event is free and open to the public.
