Arts Immersion trips give Stanford students an insider’s view into cultural capitals. Students travel with the Arts Institute Programming Director and a Graduate Assistant for an extended engagement with an urban arts scene – meeting institutional leaders, policy makers, and arts practitioners. They visit museums, galleries, concert halls, and film sets; they see dance rehearsals, opera, and string quartets, and have a chance to meet with alumni in the arts.
UPCOMING! ARTS IMMERSION: LOS ANGELES
Join the Arts Institute in Los Angeles for an Arts Immersion trip! From museums and cultural centers to the sights and sounds of the street, neighborhood-by-neighborhood, Los Angeles County 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 are required to attend a pre- and post-trip seminar. In these seminars, the group will reflect on the experiences that the trip affords and discuss how this experience can be used to enhance their curricular and extra-curricular work back at Stanford. A principal aim of the seminars will be to develop aesthetic sensibilities through critical inquiry about the art that interests and engages us and by understanding how the unique arts scene in Los Angeles differs from other urban areas.
