HECUA: City Arts
(offered every spring semester)
To
apply, please set up an appointment with the City Arts advisor (contact
info below). The application deadline is
December 1.
City Arts explores how art and culture
impact communities, and how creative work (like performance, writing,
visual art, music and interpretation) can address important social
issues. Throughout the semester you'll meet a variety of Twin Cities
artists, educators and arts advocates. You'll also attend performances,
films and art installations.
The Twin Cities has a vibrant arts
community. By becoming part of it, you'll learn how creative practices
of all kinds can be used as tools for social change and civic
engagement. Through seminars, field visits, and a professional
internship, you'll address these questions:
What roles do art and artists play in shaping cultures and communities?
What economic, social, and political forces affect art's creation and creators?
Who funds the arts, how is funding decided, and what impact does that have?What is my role in creating the world in which I want to live?
