Hip. Avant garde. Traditional.
Classic. Vibrant. Dicey.

Playful. Pointed. Joyful.
Thought-provoking. Controversial.

Stetson University’s Artists and Lecturers Committee is dedicated to bringing to campus the world’s most colorful cast of speakers and performers. Each season various departments promote events supported in part by our committee. We also sponsor one featured event during the academic year.

In 2003 Carl Hiaasen shared his wit and wisdom regarding Florida’s most outrageous political, environmental, and comical transgressions. Bluegrass legend Ralph Stanley brought his Clinch Mountain Boys to Stetson in 2004 after introducing thousands of new fans to the genre via critically acclaimed O, Brother, Where Art Thou? And in 2006, the fresh voice of author and commentator Sarah Vowell, familiar to NPR listeners everywhere as a frequent guest on This American Life graced our halls.  The audience was treated to a reading and commentary from Assassination Vacation and A Partly Cloudy Patriot as well as recent op-ed pieces she wrote for the New York Times. Sarah delighted the crowd with her insightful and honest responses during a lively Q&A following the reading.

Plan to tap your toes, squirm in your seat, and imagine the impossible.
