The University of California's Institute for Research in the Arts (UCIRA) supports UC artists dedicated to innovative approaches to form and content in the performing, media, and visual arts. Our goal is to support imaginative projects that transcend boundaries, or that fall outside the present confines of arts practice. We have a special interest in projects that are collaborative in nature and that benefit two or more UC campuses. A program of the UC Office of the President, UCIRA is committed to diversity in all its forms
The UCIRA provides grants to arts faculty and students
for projects with the potential for significant artistic and cultural
impact. We support projects that are innovative, experimental, and risk-taking
in their approach to form and/or content. These may include exhibitions,
performances, symposia, outreach efforts, and projects that are multidisciplinary
in approach. As artistic endeavors of the highest professional caliber,
UCIRA projects frequently reach audiences outside the university and involve
artists and scholars from around the world. As the only state-wide organization
representing the arts on the nine campuses of the UC system, UCIRA also
provides information and advocacy for university-based arts education
and research. |
