Lyndon House Arts Center and guest curator Lizzie Zucker Saltz seeks artists who transform industrial byproducts into artworks or craft objects, creating artworks that save materials from the landfill or rescue raw materials from the fate of becoming environmental pollutants. We encourage artists whose practice involves the use of environmentally conscious processes and materials -- including but not limited to fabric art, jewelry, woodworking, metalworks, installation or multi-media constructions -- to apply for the exhibition titled Rescue: Waste and Redemption, to be on view April 6 to June 1, 2024.

Each year, as part of an initiative to enhance the UGA learning environment, the CURO Research Award provides 500 scholarships of $1,000 each to outstanding undergraduate students across campus to actively participate in faculty-mentored research. Because of the scholarship nature of the award, students must be registered for a course during the semester in which they receive the award.

7. Teaming for Interdisciplinary Research
Deadline: November 17
https://research.uga.edu/team-pre-seeds/about/
The Teaming for Interdisciplinary Research (TIR) Pre-Seed Program provides early stage developmental funding to facilitate the formation of faculty teams and collaboration around critical areas of research expertise or emerging research topics. The goal of the pre-seed funding is to stimulate the formation of new interdisciplinary research teams that position UGA faculty to be competitive for attracting resources for collaborative research, including internal UGA seed grants and ultimately, external grant support. The Program, first launched in the 2019-2020 academic year, is offered by the Office of the Vice President for Research, in partnership with the Office of the Provost.

"What's Next?: Imagining New Educational Futures for Ourselves, Our Communities and Our Planet"
The a2ru national conference is an opportunity for practitioners and researchers from across the higher education spectrum to share innovations and perspectives in the arts. a2ru advances the full range of arts and design-integrative research, curricula, programs, and creative practice to acknowledge, articulate, and expand the vital role of higher education in our global society.
a2ru's work, in partnership with an international network of leading higher education institutions, envisions a world in which universities -- students, faculty, and leaders -- explore, embed, and integrate the arts in everyday practice and research.
This will be an in-person conference, and remote participation will be an option for many sessions.
