1. The Case for Arts Integration
https://www.a2ru.org/projects/the-case-for-arts-integration/
The Alliance for the Arts in Research Universities (a2ru) presents "The Case for Arts Integration," a tool for connecting across campus, outlining the "what," "why," and "how" of arts integration. While this book shows how arts integration can function on campus, and its range of impacts, the case it makes is broad and all-encompassing. Each university will want to define what arts integration looks like for them and how it fits into their unique cultural landscape.

3. Call for Submissions: a2ru Ground Works
Priority date for submissions is February 28, 2020
http://groundworks.io
The Alliance for the Arts in Research Universities (a2ru) issues a call for submissions to its online peer-reviewed collection of interdisciplinary arts projects, Ground Works.
We welcome submissions that integrate research and practice in the fine, performing, and applied arts and design with other disciplines. We seek a wide range of interdisciplinary works that pose a challenge to traditional peer review methods by inviting examination from multiple disciplinary perspectives. Eligible projects have achieved some initial recognition; they may be collaborative or sole-author, but should demonstrably advance multiple fields within and beyond the arts.

4. Lecture: Trevor Paglen
Monday, November 18 at 12:15 PM
Lamar Dodd building room S151
Trevor Paglen is a conceptual artist, writer, and geographer who uses lens-based technologies and public records to explore places, objects, and structures that are typically hidden from view. Concerned with military and corporate power and the phenomena of mass surveillance and data collection, Paglen is best known for the process of "limit telephotography," in which high-power telescopes in conjunction with cameras are used to photograph deliberately remote places such as military bases, satellites, and prisons.
Paglen holds a BA from U.C. Berkeley, an MFA from the Art Institute of Chicago, and a PhD in Geography from U.C. Berkeley. Paglen has had one-person exhibitions at Vienna Secession, Eli & Edythe Broad Art Museum, Van Abbe Museum, Frankfurter Kunstverein, and Protocinema Istanbul, and has participated in group exhibitions at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, the Tate Modern, and numerous other venues. He has launched an artwork into distant orbit around Earth in collaboration with Creative Time and MIT, contributed research and cinematography to the Academy Award-winning film Citizenfour, and created a radioactive public sculpture for the exclusion zone in Fukushima, Japan.

5. Lecture: Martin Creed
Wednesday, November 20 at 5 PM
Lamar Dodd building room S150
Martin Creed is a contemporary British artist known for his installations that incorporate vernacular objects such as balloons. Often purposefully irritating to his audience, Creed creates works that make people reconsider their understanding of art. "I think that the best things get under people's skin, make them remember them," he has said. Born on October 21, 1968 in Wakefield, United Kingdom, he grew up in the city of Glasgow in Scotland. The artist studied painting at the Slade School of Fine Art in London from 1986 to 1990. After finishing school, he became disillusioned with painting, believing it be a limited means of expression, and stopped for a number of years. Since then, he has produced numerous show featuring paintings and provocative installation works. In addition to his career as an artist, Creed fronts a rock band, Owada. Formed in 1994, the group performs internationally and plays a part in some of his works. The artist currently lives and works in London, United Kingdom. Today, his works are held in the collections of The Museum of Modern Art in New York, the National Galleries of Scotland in Edinburgh, and the Tate Gallery in London, among others.

7. Lecture: Jennifer Seavey
Friday, November 22 at 4 PM
Odum School of Ecology Room 117
"Art as the Science Lesson: an Artist in Residence program aimed at preparing tomorrow's scientists"
Most field stations and marine laboratories share in the goal to provide field science training to students. Ideally, along the way, students also develop creative and critical thinking skills that enhance their mastery of the scientific process and importantly, the application of knowledge to environmental challenges. One way to enhance the development of creativity and critical thinking among science students is to introduce art experiences into the science curriculum. In this seminar, Dr. Seavey will describe why and how we merge art and science in field science teaching at Shoals Marine Laboratory.

8. Practicing Wellness
DANC 2020
Practicing Wellness is a new experiential-based course that offers an introduction to selected wellness principles and practices. This course begins with investigating individual stressors and barriers to achieving wellness, focusing on those which may be unique to students within arts-based disciplines. Students will then gain experiences in various tools and practices, including Koru Mindfulness, yoga and movement, healthy eating, communication and bystander awareness, goal setting and reflective journaling. Personal wellness plans will be created as a final, culminating project.
Instructors: Barbara Powers, MFA (Lecturer, Dance), and Rebecca Gose, MFA (Associate Professor, Dance)

9. MAP Fund Grants
Deadline: November 25
https://mapfundblog.org
MAP invests in artistic production as the critical foundation of imagining -- and ultimately co-creating -- a more equitable and vibrant society. MAP awards $1 million annually, to up to 45 projects in the range of $10,000-$45,000 per grant.
The grant supports original live performance projects that embody a spirit of deep inquiry, particularly works created by artists who question, disrupt, complicate, and challenge inherited notions of social and cultural hierarchy across the United States.
Funded projects address these concerns through the processes of creating and distributing live performance to the public, and/or through the content and themes of the work itself. MAP is committed to intersectional anti-racism, and does not support cultural appropriation or oppressive project language, structures, or content.
The program pursues its mission by annually welcoming applications for new live performance projects. Each year, MAP hires a different cohort of peer reviewers who recommend the projects they believe most align with MAP's goals through a rigorous, facilitated review process.
