GUEST ARTISTS

When students learn about art, they learn about history and about genius. When they create art, they make a permanent contribution that immeasurably enriches their lives and the lives of others.The presence of distinguished visiting artists on campus and in the classroom energizes students, challenges faculty, and enhances all the creative efforts of the university.

The James and Rebecca Roser Visiting Artist Program, established in 1995, is an important contribution to the education of students at the University of Colorado Boulder. Funded by a private gift from the Rosers and matched by the Chancellor of the Boulder Campus, the program will provide continuing funding to bring artists each year to be resident resources in one or more of the five different artistic areas in which the University has major programs.

The mission of the James and Rebecca Roser Visiting Artist Program is to enrich the lives and the education of Boulder Campus students in Music, Theatre, Dance, Fine Arts, and Film Studies, by funding visiting professional artists who have a demonstrated record of excellence and a commitment to working with students. This enrichment and interaction is fostered by the artists’ collaboration in the creative process with students and faculty, and is available to the community, as appropriate.
