Arts as Inquiry, Arts as Information, Arts as Innovation

The Arts at the University of Virginia is dedicated to building on innovative research and fostering inspired expression that equips us for the future.

 
   

Arts Grounds

Mission

The Arts Grounds Committee was organized in the summer of 2009 by a group of chairs from the “art departments” on Carr’s Hill including Studio Art, Art History, Drama and Architecture. The purpose was to organize and coordinate their efforts to raise the visibility of the Arts at the University.  The working group quickly expanded to include all the stakeholders in the Arts and Arts Grounds including the Museum, the Library, the Virginia Film Festival, Music and Creative Writing. The Arts Grounds Committee is an important vehicle for Arts communication and planning activities ranging from Final Friday Gallery openings and performances to Grants, Residencies and Conferences.

Among the activities hosted by the groups have been an Arts Grounds Open House planned at the start of the academic year and organized as a series of sequential events—including a reception at the Ruffin Gallery (hosted by Studio Art/Art History) a cookout/BBQ at Culbreth Theatre (hosted by the Department of Drama) and a dance party at Campbell Hall (hosted by the School of Architecture) that encourage people to move around the Arts Grounds.

The office of the Vice Provost for the Arts coordinates the monthly meetings held in the School of Architecture Conference Room.
