The Emerging Arts is a program of experimental courses designed to cultivate current modes of creativity and identify contemporary sources of artistic inspiration. These issues apply equally to all arts disciplines: visual art, choreography, musical composition, filmmaking, writing, performance, new media, etc. They derive from current cultural, social, spiritual, and political circumstances. The courses are designed to prepare students to produce vanguard work that might contribute to the ever- expanding legacy of the arts. Innovative didactic methods are employed to convey this material. At this time, no faculty appointment has been made in this area.
