Stoking the creative fire…
Now is the time for professors and students to explore artistic self-expression and produce the original works that our society needs to stimulate dialogue and create new thinking.
|
Your gift helps transform student’s creativity into a thriving incubator for culture in society. |
When you give, you provide the resources for students to engage in arts experiences that further intercultural understanding and lift lives. Like using dance to reach Alzheimer’s patients, or theater to compel political change. Think photography to explore genetics and children’s theater to encourage literacy.
JMU’s status in the arts and national leadership in General Education mean students master their art in a conservatory-quality experience firmly grounded in a liberal arts context. That’s a powerful combination. Your gift supports professors who teach and mentor students; guide student scholarship, research and creative projects; and engage students in service-learning — which in turn engages the community in the powerful opportunities of profound artistic expression.
The creative economy is snapping up these well-grounded and contextually educated graduates who carry that ethos of engaged creativity into the world and help us all envision it. Your gift makes it possible.
