Creative Arts Council at Brown University
About the CAC
Cultivation and support of the creative arts are central to the mission of Brown University and are fundamental components of an undergraduate education.
The Brown University Creative Arts Council supports the goals of the individual creative art departments and programs as well as facilitating a common vision for the arts that transcends discipline and creates unity. The Council serves as a catalyst for innovative collaboration across disciplines and provides a regular forum for communication among all members of the arts community.
The Council seeks a leadership role in charting a strategic direction for the arts at Brown, and will contribute to the development of a strategy to help provide resources for the arts within the context of Brown's overall plans for the future.
The Creative Arts Council is for the benefit of students, faculty, staff, alumni, and friends. Through its public activities, it seeks to maximize the visibility of the arts on campus, throughout the local community as well as on a national and international level.
Support the Arts
Through the Creative Arts Flexible Fund, the Lawton Wehle Fitt '74 Artist-in-Residence Endowment, and the Student Creative Arts Council, the CAC funds several projects each semester including festivals, lectures, symposia, master classes, and special projects. In addition, each creative arts unit has departmental needs above and beyond regular operating expenses.
The Creative Arts Council depends on the support of alumni, parents, and friends to continue to build its arts programs and bring the arts at Brown from excellence to preeminence.
