Founded in 1868, the Visiting Artists Program (VAP) is one of the oldest public programs of the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. Formalized in 1951 with the establishment of an endowed fund by Flora Mayer Witkowsky, the Visiting Artists Program hosts public presentations by artists, designers, and scholars each year in lectures, symposia, performances and screenings. It is a decidedly eclectic program that showcases artists working in all media and significant curators, critics, and art historians.

The primary mission of the Visiting Artists Program is to educate and foster a greater understanding and appreciation of contemporary art and design through discourse. VAP maintains a long-standing commitment to ethnic and gender diversity and has been at the forefront of a more socially engaged and theoretically informed aesthetic dialogue.
