INSTITUTE FOR ARTS RESEARCH AND CREATION
Where artistic inquiry becomes public experience.
The Institute for Arts Research and Creation advances interdisciplinary arts research, contemporary creation, and creative technology through performances, exhibitions, commissions, education, and community programs.
OUR MISSION
Art is not only presented here. It is researched, created, tested, and shared.
The Institute for Arts Research and Creation is organized exclusively for charitable, educational, and cultural purposes. The Institute supports interdisciplinary arts research, contemporary creation, creative technology, public education, workshops, lectures, performances, exhibitions, commissions, and community arts programs.
We create frameworks in which artists, researchers, technologists, educators, and communities can develop new work, exchange knowledge, and bring ambitious artistic ideas into public life.
