The Fine Art Stanley Picker lectures and events programme aims to present significant discussions and developments within contemporary art practice to a wide and diverse audience. It contributes significantly to addressing key issues pertinent to the Fine Art department and beyond by bringing students and staff into contact with a range of practices and ideas.  

The Stanley Picker public programme is devised yearly by Fine Art staff and works in partnership with the ICA, London. Other venues and approaches - including this website - contribute to a desire to articulate current issues for those working as artists now and in the future.
