CHA's 25th Anniversary

Looking Back and Planning Ahead: The Future of Arts and Humanities

RSVP

The Center for Humanities & the Arts (CHA) welcomed all to an afternoon of conversation and celebration revolving around the past, present, and future of the arts and humanities at ��ý�Ļ��Ʒ and beyond.

The CHA's 25th Anniversary Salon Celebration was a discussion hub to look back and plan ahead for how to promote, support, and celebrate the arts and humanities. Inspired by the wide ranging and free form conversations that hearkens to salons of 18^th century France, we facilitated small group conversations (led by a host at each table) around a series of topics and questions reflecting back and anticipating the future of humanities and the arts.

This event was held in-person at the University of Colorado Boulder's Center for Academic Success & Engagement (CASE) Building in the Center for Teaching and Learning (CTL), CASE E390. We invited all to join us Wednesday, February 15, 2023 from 3:30pm - 5pm MT for a vigorous celebration and conversation.

Questions Addressed at Salon Event:

What are the strengths of arts and humanities – if we had to do an elevator pitch to someone who is going to give the CHA $5 million dollars, how would we convince someone about the vitality of arts and humanities at ��ý�Ļ��Ʒ?

What exciting arts and humanities projects/research/initiatives are happening in your unit/at ��ý�Ļ��Ʒ/in Boulder County/Colorado?

What kinds of future projects might the CHA fund/develop to bridge the gap between academic and public audiences – how can the CHA engage in public humanities & arts?

What are the immediate and future challenges we see related to arts and humanities scholarship and production at ��ý�Ļ��Ʒ?
