ArtsEngine is an interdisciplinary initiative of the North Campus schools and colleges: Taubman College of Architecture + Urban Planning; Stamps School of Art & Design; School of Music, Theatre & Dance; College of Engineering; and School of Information.
Your gift to ArtsEngine on Giving Blueday will help us deepen and enrich the Michigan experience by providing a framework in which curiosity, creativity, collaboration, and passion are engaged through interdisciplinary teaching, learning, research, and community. We do this by promoting, expanding, and enhancing programs and initiatives through which students and faculty develop as interdisciplinary thinkers, outcome-driven makers, and collaborative practitioners across the arts, design, engineering, information sciences and technology.
Programs we offer:
- Art/Sci Student Residencies;
- Funding opportunities to support student and faculty projects and research;
- UARTS Faculty Engineering/Arts Student Team (FEAST) research courses;
- Creative Process courses;
- Special projects in collaboration with other campus partners including Makeathons, Science as Art Competition and North Campus Deans' MLK Spirit Awards.
ArtsEngine also includes Living ArtsEngine - an interdisciplinary residential community in Bursley Hall on the University of Michigan’s North Campus that brings together undergraduate students in the arts, architecture, engineering, and other fields to explore innovation, creativity and collaboration. Living ArtsEngine strives to provide an open environment that encourages students to generate and pursue creative new ideas.
The program offers weekly classes and monthly workshops by distinguished faculty and working professionals from the fields of engineering, architecture, visual arts, film, music performance and composition, dance, and theater. All Living ArtsEngine students take an interdisciplinary class together and work on collaborative projects. In addition, Living ArtsEngine provides mentorship by older students and alumni. Your support for Living ArtsEngine enhances student programming and events.
Thank you and Go Blue!
