Modern Graduate Series

The Modern Graduate Series aims to foster and sustain a vibrant, creative dialogue among fine arts and art history graduate students from across the Dallas/Fort Worth metroplex. The series is a succession of quarterly meetings where area graduate students can experience the Modern’s special exhibitions and attend lectures by visiting artists, scholars, and art professionals from across the state. Prior to each lecture, graduate students will enjoy complimentary access to the galleries. Following the lecture, participants can enjoy thought-provoking discussion, light snacks, and drinks with the speaker at Café Modern.
