The Hixson-Lied Visiting Artist and Scholar Lecture Series of the University of Nebraska–Lincoln’s School of Art, Art History and Design brings notable artists, scholars and designers to campus each semester to enhance the education of students. Each visiting artist or scholar spends one to three days on campus to meet with classes, participate in critiques and give demonstrations. Every visiting artist or scholar gives at least one major lecture that is free and open to the public.
