Description

This program will study the intense and lively cultural life of New York City, the most active arts production center in the United States, and perhaps the world.

Students and faculty will collaborate on final touches to the program in Olympia, then fly to New York for seven weeks (options from 4 to 10 weeks) to engage in program and individual project-related activities. 

Program activities will consist of weekly cultural events and shows in as many art genres as possible followed by seminars on readings in contemporary art theory. The class will explore a wide range of sites and art forms in venues ranging from established world-renowned institutions to emergent art spaces.  

Arts events may include visits to galleries in Chelsea, MOMA, DIA Arts Center, PS1, The Metropolitan Museum of Art, and emerging venues. The class will attend culturally relevant institutions such as the Japan Society, Asia Society, Jewish Museum, Harlem Studio Museum, and El Museo del Barrio to experience cultural diversity.

Performance venues may include Galapagos Space, PS 122, La MAMA, The Kitchen, HERE, off-off-Broadway, BAM, or emerging and more traditional venues. Dance events may include contemporary performances, experimental works, or festivals. The class may attend poetry readings at different venues such as The Bowery Poetry Club, the Nuyorican Poets Cafe, The New York Public Library, or Poets' House. 

Individual projects will be based on personal learning goals and may include internships, work in the arts, writing or research. Students will convene during the final week for presentations of their individual projects to the class.

As part of the New York experience, students will be responsible for making all necessary arrangements for their travel, room and board, event tickets (once selected by the class) and individual projects. Each student's expenses will depend on individual resourcefulness.
