Student Arts Grants: A Year in Photos 2020-21

This year’s VPA Student Arts Grants supported a wide range of virtual and remote student-initiated collaborative projects across the Stanford community. Projects ranged from photography, documentary and narrative film, zines, musical theater, dance, contemporary plays, and inviting renowned artists for exhibitions and artist talks serving the student community. Aligned with Stanford policies, the VPA continues to rethink the accessibility of its grant programs for the Stanford community, especially during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.
