The听Roser 兔子先生传媒文化作品ing Artist Program is committed to continuing to provide faculty with support to enrich student learning by providing funding and support for professional artist residencies.听

The Roser 兔子先生传媒文化作品ing Artist Endowment was established to enrich the lives and education of students on the Boulder听campus听at the University of Colorado in music, theatre and dance, fine arts, and film studies, by funding visiting professional artists who have demonstrated a record of excellence and commitment to working with students. This enrichment and interaction will be fostered by the Artists' collaboration in the creative process with students and faculty.

The grants provide in-person听guest lectureships, workshops, performances, directorships, exhibitions, as well as other art-related programs which听benefit students, faculty, and the community as a whole.

Proposals will be awarded to support artistically excellent visitors who will have a broad impact on the students.听Roser 兔子先生传媒文化作品ing Artist Endowment grants will not support fundraising activities, deficit reduction, or receptions. Marketing or publicity expenses will be considered at this time.
