Summer Institute for Publicly Engaged Studies

Posted by on June 9, 2006

The Summer Institute for Publicly Engaged Studies (SIPES) is a unique opportunity for students, cultural leaders, teachers and public intellectuals to immerse themselves in an interdisciplinary approach to an investigation of the emerging fields of public arts practices. As a part of this learning community, students experiment in a rigorous grounding of theoretical, art historical and practicum-based collaborations with Providence-area communities.

The Institute offers four immersive two-week courses that focus on the core practices of public engagement in the arts. Courses may be taken separately or in combination. A nationally renowned visiting artist or scholar leads each course as an ?Artist-in-Residence? and classes utilize a think-tank style working-group arrangement to produce a completed group project at the conclusion of each two-week period.
