Arts Immersion trips give Stanford students an insider’s view into cultural capitals. Students travel with the Arts Institute Faculty Director and Programming Director for a week long engagement with the arts, meeting institutional leaders, policy makers, and arts practitioners. They visit museums, galleries, concert halls; they see dance rehearsals, opera, and string quartets, and have a chance to meet with alumni in the arts. In the accompanying class students study the history of the arts in the particular city and hone their critical skills for an end-of-course symposium presentation.
Upcoming! Arts Immersion: New York City
Join the Arts Institute in New York for the Sixth Annual Spring Break Arts Immersion trip! From the museums and concert halls to the sights and sounds of the street, block by block, New York City provides a cultural and sensorial experience like nowhere else in America, and this trip will place Stanford students in the center of it all.
About
Accepted applicants to the spring break trip are required to enroll in the spring quarter class Art in the Metropolis. In the seminar, we will reflect on the plethora of experiences that the trip affords and develop individual projects related to particular works of art, exhibitions, and performances encountered during the stay in New York. The urban setting in which the various forms of art are created, presented, and received will form a special point of focus. A principal aim of the seminar will be to develop aesthetic sensibilities through writing critically about the art that interests and engages us. After developing their projects with the seminar leader and instructors from other art departments, students will have a chance to present their work in the symposium with which the course will conclude.
This course is offered by the Stanford Arts Institute in collaboration with the Introductory Seminars program.
