A white paper taking stock of the Creative Campus Innovations Grant Program
By Alan S. Brown, Steven J. Tepper
Artists today are increasingly leaving their stages and studios to work in new ways. They are working with artists from other disciplines; with community partners; with health professionals; and with a broad range of educators at every level. This interdisciplinary and inter-sectoral work is partly the result of a change in the nature of artistic careers, with artists driven to opportunistically work in many capacities and in multiple jobs in order to piece together work. But it is also the result of changes in how artists choose to work and create, and changes in the nature of artistic projects being conceived by performing arts presenters and their campus and community partners. Paralleling the rise of the omnivorous arts consumer, we are also witnessing omnivorousness among artists and curators who are inspired to work outside of narrow disciplinary boundaries.
