Veronica Roberts | New York Studio School

Spring 2024 Evening Lecture Series: Veronica Roberts, "Day Jobs," recorded on March 20, 2024.
Veronica Roberts is the John and Jill Freidenrich Director of the Cantor Arts Center at Stanford University. She joined the Cantor in July 2022 after holding curatorial positions at the Blanton Museum of Art, MoMA, and the Whitney Museum. Day Jobs, an exhibition she curated, will open at the Cantor in March 2024. Conceived as a corrective to traditional art historical narratives, Day Jobs encourages us to openly acknowledge the precarious and generative ways that economic and creative pursuits are intertwined. The exhibition features emerging and established artists, including Mark Bradford, Lenka Clayton, Matthew Angelo Harrison, Tishan Hsu, Margaret Kilgallen and Lillian Schwartz.
Veronica is a San Francisco native. She was a 2021 fellow of the Center for Curatorial Leadership. She received her MA from UC Santa Barbara and her BA in art history from Williams College.

The Evening Lecture Series has been an integral part of New York Studio School’s programming since its founding in the 1960s. An intensive studio arts program that values artists learning from artists, working from perception, and the practice of drawing as the most direct means of translating one’s ideas or experiences, NYSS offers an array of full-time and part-time programs that prioritize in-depth dialogue with dedicated instructors. Programs are offered in-person for those based in New York City and in virtual formats to enable real-time participation for artists around the world.
