Creators on Campus

Arts Initiative staff consult with units in crafting calls-for-artists, co-developing the integration of an artist’s practice within a unit.

Beginning in Fall 2024 and biennially thereafter, the Arts Initiative will award one distinguished artist an academic year-long residency with strong public components. Nominations will be accepted from August 14, 2023 through November 30, 2023.

In an effort to support and encourage the importance of arts journalism and the training and professional development of journalists committed to covering the arts, Wallace House Center for Journalists, in partnership with the University of Michigan Arts Initiative, seeks applications from arts journalists with 5+ years of experience to join the Knight-Wallace Fellowship for the 2024-25 academic year for a specialized Knight-Wallace Arts Journalism Fellowship.

The Creative Careers Residency is a program for graduates (current and previous academic year) of Masters-level creative disciplines.
