Winter Seminar + Spring Break Trip
Following enrollment in Art in the Metropolis (ARTSINST 11Q) in their winter quarter, undergraduate students travel to NYC to visit a spectrum of art and performance venues and meet institutional leaders, policy-makers, and art practitioners. On past trips, students have visited museums, galleries, and concert halls; they have seen dance rehearsals, opera, and Broadway shows, and have had the chance to connect with alumni working in the arts. The trip builds on the critical exploration and preparation conducted in Art in the Metropolis.
Spring Break Trip (no course)
The world of “the Entertainment Industry” – film, television, music, media, gaming – has within it dozens of artistic and professional practices. This week-long immersion will introduce students to multiple modes of working “in entertainment” by leveraging the people and places available in greater Los Angeles. Students will engage questions of art, craft, and commerce via activities such as studio visits, meetings with alumni at agencies, production companies, networks, law firms, production design shops, and post-production and effects houses. Students will come out of the experience with a greater appreciation of the many elements merging to create "entertainment."
The trip is open to all students, both undergraduate and graduate level.
