Creating Our Future

Featured

UMMA will partner with renowned nonprofit public art and history studio Monument Lab to examine the role of historic structures at the University of Michigan in upholding social and cultural systems and narratives. U-M alum and Monument Lab Director/Co-founder Dr. Paul Farber will also serve as the University of Michigan Arts Initiative’s first Curator-in-Residence.

A working group of arts leaders on campus will collaborate with all parts of the university in creating the initiative.

During the startup phase over the next two-and-a-half years, the working group will use these various activities to inform longer-term planning for the ambitious initiative, which aims to transform teaching, learning and research throughout the university in partnership with the arts.
