We invite world-renowned artists to visit each semester as guest speakers. These artists are industry-leaders, often paving the way for other creatives. Students have the chance to attend these events in real-time, ask questions, connect with the artist, and sometimes even receive critiques!
The 2022 lineup of visiting guest speakers is already gearing up to be one of the best to date. Our list of guest artists ranges from Afua Richardson, who worked on the Eisner winning series Black Panther World of Wakanda, to Tim O’Brien, one of the biggest names in editorial illustration. Not to mention, the groundbreaking concept artist, Karla Ortiz is returning to share her skills and insights with Passage students.
