16 University of Wisconsin–Madison Arts Institute | Annual Report | 2017–18
COMMITTEES The Arts Institute supported and developed its community by sponsoring committees, working groups, and interdisciplinary projects. By increasing the possible points of connection, these groups encouraged broader affiliate engagement with the division and with each other. This open-ended structure harnesses the energy of affiliates to achieve real action and momentum in key issues and areas impacting the arts.
Gallery and Curation Committee
Academic Affairs Committee
The Gallery and Curation Committee brings together affiliates who teach curation or manage gallery spaces to address common issues and identify campus-wide opportunities.
The Academic Affairs Committee oversees the Integrated Arts course subject listing, review proposals for the Interdisciplinary Arts Residency Program, and consults on shared academic concerns impacting the arts across colleges.
