ARTalks/Visiting Artists

Program Overview
The Visiting Artist Program enriches students' visual arts education by providing unique opportunities to engage with professional artists through gallery exhibitions, workshops, and ARTalks (artist presentations). Designed to showcase a diverse range of artists, styles, and mediums, the program offers valuable insights and inspiration throughout the school year. The Visiting Artist Program was established 25 years ago by Stevenson emeritus faculty member John DePinto and is presented in partnership with the Stevenson Foundation and curated by Stevenson’s visual arts faculty.
Currently Featuring Bekka Goldstein
The Fine Arts Division welcomes visual artist Stevenson alumnus Bekka Goldstein as the final artist in the 2025-26 Visiting Artist Series.
Bekka Goldstein is a 3D modeling and digital sculpting artist at Disney Consumer Products. She graduated from Stevenson in 2019 and Ringling College of Art & Design in 2023, majoring in Visual Studies with a concentration in Computer Animation.
In college, she trained as a 3D generalist, creating animated shorts and working across the full production pipeline. She also participated in workshops with Hasbro and the Disney Creative Group, where she sculpted and articulated 3D-printable toys, gaining experience with the 3D printing process.
After her junior year, she interned at Make Visual, modeling and texturing characters, environments, and props for commercial IP, including Hot Wheels and Rubik’s Cube. She later interned at Big Huge Games, contributing to marketing art for DomiNations user-acquisition videos by building an asset library of characters and costumes.
At Disney Consumer Products, Bekka models a wide range of merchandise, including ornaments, mugs, pens, picture frames, life-size statues, and collectible figurines sold at Disney stores, parks, and properties worldwide. She is passionate about digital sculpting and continues to refine her technical and artistic skills.
Bekka’s artwork will be on display in the Visiting Artist Gallery through May 22.
