Spring Break
Arts Innovation Program grants funds to faculty and students
Issue date: 4/24/08
In order to promote the arts on the Homewood campus, Hopkins has given about $25,000 in grants to faculty and students.
The Arts Innovation Program was initiated in 2006 in order to help fund the creation of new courses in the undergraduate arts program.
These programs must encourage interdisciplinary courses as well as interaction with the Baltimore community.
Three courses will benefit from the funding. The course Camera Arts: Photographing Evergreen Museum & Library will be taught by Phyllis Berger of the Homewood Arts Workshops and Evergreen curator James Archer Abbott.
Students will use digital photography to incorporate the architecture and collections of the Evergreen Museum into their work.
In a Film and Media Studies course called Arts, Hypermedia, Community: Creating an Online Multimedia Arts Journal for Baltimore and Beyond, students will collaborate with artists and activists in the Baltimore community on a new online journal of arts and culture called Radar Redux.
In spring 2009, Close Looking at the BMA: Van Dyck's Rinaldo and Armida will be taught by Museums and Society Program Director Elizabeth Rodini.
The course hopes to engage students in in-depth studies of works of art as they prepare a new interpretive program for the museum's audience.
Three students will also receive support for their arts-related initiatives.
Senior Corey Sattler, leader of the Student Art League, is receiving support for this weekend's Spring Fair Art Show, where student artworks will be showcased.
Senior Liz Eldridge, a Writing Seminars major and Theatre Arts and Studies minor, is receiving funding for the production of four plays celebrating the work of poet Russell Edson scheduled for July 2008.
Freshmen Neil Albstein and Jeremy Garson are producing a comedy film series that will be shown in the Merrick Barn in the fall of 2008.
