The Georgia Tech Office of the Arts and the Georgia Tech Arts Council are pleased to announce that the Georgia Tech Strategic Plan Advisory Group has awarded funding for Creative Curricular Initiatives, a new project that supports faculty, staff, and students in discovering how artistic practices can inform existing learning objectives.
Based on the belief that nurturing students' artistic sensibilities and exposing students to artistic process is essential to developing creativity and innovation, the project supports Georgia Tech’s strategic goals: making innovation and creative thinking fundamental characteristics of its graduates; preparing students to excel, lead, and innovate in 21st-century careers; and enabling students to bridge diverse perspectives, disciplines, and practices.
The Creative Curricular Initiatives project consists of two components:
The Office of the Arts and the Arts Council will issue a call for proposals, review submissions, and assist awardees with planning, marketing, mentorship, artist matching, and implementation. The Creative Curricular Initiative also includes implementation of a multi-faceted communications plan, evaluation and assessment, and fundraising to support these initiatives beyond the two-year grant period.
