Research & Impact
Arts on the Point
The UMass Boston sculpture park “Arts on the Point” consists of large-scale outdoor works by some of the world's leading artists. This important educational program exposes students to large-scale projects contextualized by the campus and the bay. Arts on the Point is an on-going initiative that involves students in the inner workings of curatorial practices, fund-raising events, and hires them as docents who guide visitors through the collection. In recent years, the program has sponsored lectures by artists aimed at Art majors and has provided contacts for students within the Boston arts community.

Visiting Artist Lecture Series
The Visiting Artist Lecture Series is a program presented by the Art & Art History Department and developed by Associate Professor Christopher Schade that invites several nationally and internationally renowned artists a semester to visit campus for a day. Each artist comes to a studio art or art history class to participate in critiques and conversation about art with the students. The visiting artists also give PowerPoint presentations of their own work in University Hall. These lectures are open to the public and are announced throughout the College of Liberal Arts and the wider university. These presentations give students first-hand access to artists who have successfully made a life out of their creative practice and a window into the complexity of arguments and approaches in the contemporary art world.
