About the Program
The Arts Institute’s Interdisciplinary Arts Residency Program brings innovative, world-class artists to campus for a semester long residency sponsored by two or more departments. While in residence, artists teach an interdisciplinary course, present a public event, and participate in community outreach. The program gives students exposure to working artists, provides course credit, and strengthens programmatic ties among individual departments, programs, and other campus and community arts entities.
The Interdisciplinary Arts Residency Program is made possible by the University's Cluster Hiring Initiative.
