Arts Scholars is a non-major specific program built around a cohort of scholars with a varied and deep appreciation for the arts. During their Autumn 2020 semester, first-year Arts Scholars were tasked with overcoming especially unique obstacles – many that were out of everyone’s control. Despite these challenges, they came together in small groups to create final project videos that blended elements of first-year seminar discussions, workshops, and virtual tours with their own artistic identities. The following Engage the Arts videos were voted by their peers to represent their collective efforts to contest the parameters of our times.
Hybrid Arts Lab is a multi-venue teaching lab that experiments with how art is imagined, made, viewed and understood within physical and digital spaces. Venues include Hopkins Hall Gallery, Stillman Hall Tent, and online @ UAS from Home.
