Design Lecture Series

Hosted by PNCA's BFA program in Graphic Design since 2016, the Design Lecture Series welcomes designers from all over the world to share their work and what moves them. Presented in collaboration with FISK Studio, the series is free and open to all.

The 2020-2021 evolution of our series takes advantage of the potential for more interaction across our distances by hosting panel discussions in place of traditional lectures, over zoom. As a way to open our “doors” and minds to the broad and vibrant possibilities in design, panels are driven by current students and faculty in conversation with a diverse set of creative folks who break expectations of what design can be and do.
