October 2012 through April 2013
All of our programs are located at the Microsoft Conference Center, Building 33, Redmond, Washington
Microsoft’s art programs began in 1999, and our community enjoys and learns from them to this day. Art programs are designed to introduce employees, guests, customers, and the public to the array of artists represented in this unique corporate collection. Our programs have built a strong, ongoing relationship between Microsoft and the visual arts community.
Members of the general public are welcome to attend as guests of current Microsoft employees. Guests are required to register with a receptionist and must be escorted at all times by their Microsoft employee host. Please register for the lecture series by sending an e-mail message to artevent@microsoft.com.
