Each year the Department of Art and Art History collaborates with the de Saisset Museum to bring together some of the finest Bay Area artists for the annual Artist Lecture Series held at the de Saisset Museum. The de Saisset Museum also has a permanent collection of artworks selected by SCU undergraduate students for the museum to purchase through Class Acquisitions Projects between 2006-2019. These projects, an ongoing collaboration with SCU's Department of Art and Art History, provide a unique experience for students to learn about museum collection management and help shape our collection for the future. All lectures are free and open to the public.
