Jo Bertini: UCCS Visiting Artists & Critics Series Lecture

Jo Bertini is an established and awarded Australian artist, renowned lecturer and teacher in painting and drawing, both nationally and internationally. She currently lives and works in the deserts of Northern New Mexico, USA.
Jo has a history of over thirty years exhibiting experience, with solo exhibitions at numerous public institutions and museums both nationally and internationally and regional, state and commercial galleries. Her artistic interest is focused on the desert places and peoples of the world.
The UCCS Visiting Artists & Critics Series’ tenth season features a lineup of presentations by artists and critics of national and international significance. Our goal is to foster understanding and appreciation of contemporary art through dialogue and critical conversations. Each VACS lecture takes place in the Chapman Foundation Recital Hall, next door to the Marie Walsh Sharpe Gallery in the Ent Center for the Arts.
Over the past decade, the series co-produced by the UCCS Galleries of Contemporary Art and UCCS Visual Art & Art History programs has invited artists and scholars to the UCCS campus to present public lectures and meet with undergraduate students in classes and workshop settings.
The series is generously supported by the CU President’s Fund for the Humanities, Colorado Creative Industries, UCCS Student Government Association, and the Bee Vradenburg Foundation.
