Ginsberg Family Artist-in-Residence Program
The Ginsberg Family Artist-in-Residence Program was established in 2003 with a gift from Stuart Ginsberg’82 and his wife, Lisa, in order to bring distinguished artists to campus to teach, conduct workshops, and perform or exhibit works at the Wright Museum of Art. Ginsberg Artists-in-Residence visit campus every other year, alternating with Ferrall Artists-in-Residence in the visual arts.
