The final report of the Homewood Arts Task Force, completed in May 2005, praises existing curricular and co-curricular arts opportunities on the Homewood campus, but laments that: "The arts are orphans at Homewood, without adequate resources or facilities and without security about their present or their future." The lack of centralized oversight has been partially addressed by the recent appointments of Winston Tabb as Vice Provost for the Arts and Eileen Soskin as Associate Vice-Provost for the Arts, but it is also critical that funding be made available to foster new initiatives. The Arts Innovation Program seeks to stimulate efforts by faculty, staff and students, through two complementary but discrete programs. The first offers funding to faculty and staff who wish to create credit-bearing courses in the arts, with an emphasis on interdisciplinary and cross-departmental courses; the second seeks to inspire the artistic efforts of students, either those currently engaged in arts activities or those wishing to create a new venture. The success of the funded efforts by faculty and students will be measured by the degree to which new opportunities in the arts are created for our primary audience, the Homewood undergraduate population. Grant proposals will be reviewed twice during each academic year: in March for proposals that will begin the following fall semester; in September for proposals that will begin the following spring semester or Intersession.
