Emerging Creatives Conference

Applications Due Sept. 10

a2ru is offering its Emerging Creatives Student Summit just for the University of Michigan, bringing together students from across all three campuses and the full range of academic disciplines at the University to explore the many questions surrounding the theme of “Migration.”

Emerging Creatives will take place Oct. 4-6 in the Duderstadt Center. Students will form small cross-disciplinary teams and make something that represents their exploration: a cookbook, podcast, app, opera, pair of shoes, urban blueprint, pop-up store, musical score, website…the list of possible outcomes is endless.

At Emerging Creatives, students not only envision and create their project, they also take field trips, meet interdisciplinary thinkers, practice presenting their work, and exchange ideas about their project with peers and experts.

Art/Sci Student Residencies offer unique opportunities designed to encourage interdisciplinary learning and creative production by exposing students to life and work in an alternate discipline’s maker space – i.e. the artist in the engineering lab, the engineer in the artist’s studio or performance space. Each residency comes with a $2,000 cash prize and the expectation that a work of some kind will be produced as a response to the experience. Prize recipients will produce a final work of some kind within their discipline that reflects, builds on, explores, integrates or traces their experience in the residency. Learn more below about the current residencies being offered during the 2023-24 academic year!
