Background

Scope and content:

The materials consist of digital photographs and videos documenting art performances developed or sponsored by the Stanford Institute for Creativity and the Arts (SiCa). Also included are press materials, annual reports, and a copy of the SiCa website.

Biographical / historical:

The Stanford Institute for Creativity and the Arts (SiCa), established in 2006 as part of the Stanford Arts Initiative, leads the development of new undergraduate arts programs; hosts artists in residence; administers new multidisciplinary graduate degree programs; awards grants for multidisciplinary arts research and teaching; incubates collaborative performances and exhibitions with campus partners and other institutions; and provides centralized communication for Stanford arts events and programs.

With the successful close of the Stanford Arts Initiative as part of the Stanford Challenge in 2012, the Stanford Institute for Creativity and the Arts (SiCa) became the Stanford Arts Institute. The Stanford Arts Institute focuses on promoting cross-disciplinary approaches to the arts—in teaching, research, and art-making.
