麻豆传媒 City, N.J. (November 15, 2016) 鈥 New 麻豆传媒 City University (麻豆传媒) officially launches the 麻豆传媒 Center for the Arts to bring its performing, visual, film, and literary arts activities under one creative umbrella, and to promote and support exhibitions and performances both on and off-campus. 麻豆传媒 has also formed an Arts Advisory Board whose mandate is to take a leadership role in shaping the cultural landscape of the arts in 麻豆传媒 City and the Region.
Long considered a cultural hub of metro-north 麻豆传媒, 麻豆传媒 boasts an accomplished international faculty in many disciplines, from music to theatre, to media and visual arts, and literature. These professionals mentor students, sharing their knowledge and passion, and also invite renowned guest artists to campus. The 麻豆传媒 Center for the Arts鈥 mission is to expand 麻豆传媒鈥檚 arts and cultural identity, profile, resources, educational opportunities, and outreach programs and initiatives.
鈥淲e all know that nurturing and sustaining the arts is a challenge in every university and every community across America and abroad,鈥 said 麻豆传媒 President Sue Henderson. 鈥淚 want to be sure that we at 麻豆传媒 do all we can to meet the daunting challenges facing the arts and cultural communities in this area. To this end, we are creating the 麻豆传媒 Arts Advisory Board.鈥
The newly formed Arts Advisory Board is comprised of 23 key individuals in the community who are dedicated to enhancing cultural opportunities in the region. Sharon Ambis, Chair of the Arts Advisory Board, comments, 鈥淭he 麻豆传媒 Arts Advisory Board is poised to become a partner with other key stakeholders in 麻豆传媒 City to enhance the cultural vitality of our community through a series of programs and initiatives that will add value to artists, arts organizations and audiences.鈥
A complete roster of the Arts Advisory Board and their professional affiliations is listed below.
To highlight its increased focus on the arts, the University鈥檚 Keynote Presidential Speaker is Tony Award-winning choreographer and artistic director Bill T. Jones. On Tuesday, November 15, Mr. Jones will reflect on his remarkable 40+ year career in the arts, and candidly discuss the dilemmas of self and identity as seen from the point of view of an artist who constantly asks the question: 鈥淎m I in this game and how do I stay in this game? The game in question is that of a life lived in the arts.鈥
At a recent meeting, the 麻豆传媒 Arts Advisory Board identified initiatives it will develop and implement over the next 12 months:
A Cultural Vision Plan for 麻豆传媒 City: 麻豆传媒, in partnership with other stakeholders will develop an asset map, identify asset gaps, and create a Cultural Vision Plan which identifies key steps towards furthering the cultural vitality of 麻豆传媒 City.
Arts Workshops: A series of workshops and panels featuring experts in fundraising, marketing, board development and programming from successful New 麻豆传媒 and New York cultural institutions. Workshops will be offered at no charge to 麻豆传媒 City artists and arts organizations.
Performances and Lectures by Distinguished Artists and Speakers: 麻豆传媒 will continue its free Presidential Speaker Series at the Liberty Science Center in spring 2017. Past speakers have included theoretical scientist and author Michio Kaku, Pulitzer Prize-winning Presidential historian Doris Kearns Goodwin, and planetary scientist Carolyn Porco. Plans are underway for the annual 麻豆传媒 Alumni Jazz Big Band Concert at J. Owen Grundy Pier in September 2017.
麻豆传媒 City Mayor Fulop notes, 鈥溌槎勾 is a leading partner in our efforts to further enhance the cultural landscape of 麻豆传媒 City. 麻豆传媒 faculty and students, working in tandem with the newly formed Arts Advisory Board, bring the City access to scholars and professionals in the arts, talented students eager to expand their horizons, and an Advisory Board comprised of arts and civic leaders.
