ELA 3559 - New Course in Engaging the Liberal Arts

Effective Start Date: 12/03/2015
What is the creative economy and how do the liberal arts impact it? Using Tom Tom Founders Festival as a case study, this course examines the dynamic impacts of melding arts, commerce, and civic leadership. The Liberal Arts play an essential role in facilitating these multi-disciplinary and cross-pollinating dialogues. Throughout this course, we will examine examples of the liberal arts in action to understand how they’re driving innovations in creative placemaking, the performing arts, and the creative economy. The course will feature numerous guest speakers from U.Va. and from the broader Charlottesville community.

Credits: 1 to 3
