The 2013 TechArts Festival, an event slated for April 11-13, seeks proposals from students and faculty interested in participating in this new celebration of the arts on campus.
“The TechArts Festival is a singular event designed to celebrate the creative arts spirit on campus,” said Aaron Bobick, chair of the Council of the Arts. “It’s intended to showcase that music, dance, theater, literary arts and visual/digital media arts not only flourish in the midst of our technological research university, but also inspire and reflect both research and education.”
The festival, which will be sponsored by the Office of the Provost, Council of the Arts and the Office of the Arts, will feature a variety of arts experiences. Featured work will be independently produced by students or faculty affiliated with Georgia Tech or produced as part of an academic or research project. Projects will showcase the convergence of art and science/technology, or will be solely artistic.
“This is a Georgia Tech arts festival, so while we expect some projects will feature the very talented musicians or visual artists who are part of the Tech community, other projects will showcase the coming together of arts and technology,” said George Thompson, director of the Office of the Arts and Festival producer.
Submit proposals by Feb. 15 here.
