Center for the Arts in Society
Center for the Arts in Society
The Center for the Arts in Society is dedicated to energizing research and teaching that links the College of Humanities and Social Sciences with the College of Fine Arts. The Center supports graduate and undergraduate courses, faculty and student research projects, and collaborations with arts institutions in the Pittsburgh community. Members of the Center explore pressing issues such as cultural production and social responsibility, as well as developing new disciplinary approaches — visual anthropology, public arts policy, statistical graphics, and more.
The Center for the Arts in Society has presented even more occasions to synthesize creative and humanistic forms of knowledge and practice. The School of Art is actively involved in the evolution of the Center and is often the largest contingent in the audience for CAS events and courses. The new Arts in Society minor offered through the Center expands the arts histories curriculum at Carnegie Mellon.
