Faculty Choice

Faculty Choice provides a forum for the exchange of ideas among Center curators, Stanford University faculty, the university community, and the general public. Individual faculty members are invited to select a work or works of art from the Center’s collections, identify the visual and conceptual ideas that have drawn his or her interest, and conceive a project or program in any format to engage museum visitors in the inquiry. The Faculty Choice series is supported by the Barbara Silverman Fund.

Projects may be expressed in one or more ways, such as writing didactic material or a small publication, presenting a lecture, or creating a performance piece or another work of art.
