As part of its Image in Process lecture series, VOX offers visual-arts and photography teachers the opportunity to host Artist-Speakers in their classroom. These intimate, relaxed meetings facilitate exchanges between students and photographers, who demystify the status of artist and their artistic process. These encounters will enable students to gain greater knowledge about contemporary photography.

Academic institutions must pay the guest speaker’s honorarium. For all information on this activity,
