Each year, the Art and Design Department hosts the Visual Voices Lecture Series, bringing distinguished artists, designers, and critics to campus. Visual Voices lectures are free and open to the public. The Visual Voices Lecture Series forms a vital link that connects the Bradley community with regional, national and global perspectives on all areas of art and design. The visiting speakers inspire Art and Design students by sharing their own creative research and other experience that is relevant to building a career in the field.
