The Department of Art regularly invites artists, critics, historians and designers to participate in the Visiting Artist Speaker Series, classroom lectures and critiques. The Speaker Series happens every fall semester and is free to the public.

Frederick Wright Jones was born in Boyertown, Pennsylvania. He received his MFA in Sculpture and Emerging Practices at the State University of New York at Buffalo. Inspired by myth, pop culture, and the utilitarian, his tactile objects work to materialize forces we neither see nor measure, and to dissect the contradictions of narrative. An Associate Professor at Muhlenberg College in Allentown, Pennsylvania, Frederick is currently working with the mapping of history and memory. Slightly peripheral, he travels between his families in Pennsylvania, Hamburg-Germany, memory, and rememory.
