Institute for Doctoral Studies in the Visual Arts - A PhD for working art professionals - "Traditionally the MFA has served as the terminal degree for studio artists. This degree has trained studio artists in the skills necessary for successful art practice and has prepared artists for teaching in college and university studio art programs. However, there is a strong sense among today's artists and educators that training beyond the MFA would benefit many artists, especially those who grapple with issues surrounding contemporary media and culture. The Institute for Doctoral Studies in the Visual Arts offers to holders of the MFA a PhD in philosophy, aesthetics, and art theory. This new idea in graduate education addresses an important opportunity for contemporary art and culture. The measure of this opportunity can be summed up in two points: In the first place, we know that artists and studio art programs are generally relegated to the outskirts and fringes of contemporary colleges and universities. Without the PhD, professors of art are restricted to the studio. They teach the labor of studio practice but rarely are they permitted to engage the questions of philosophy and theory pressing on the status of art today. Consequently, undergraduates and graduate students learn how to make art from artists but they often learn about what art means from scholars who do not make art. The PhD in Visual Arts provides the training and credentials necessary to bring art practitioners into the center of the current and extremely important debates on the meaning and function of art in today's world. Their contributions to these debates will benefit students, philosophers, and art historians alike. They will change the way we think about art inside the academy and beyond. Secondly, and perhaps more importantly, we know that rigorous training in philosophy and art theory increases an artist's range and vision. Critical thinking sharpens the hand and eye as well as the mind. The artist whose studio practice is informed by the history and philosophy of culture and aesthetics is able to redefine visual art in ways previously unimagined and can tell us things through their art that we otherwise would never know. Such opportunities are hardly limited to the classroom, the gallery, and the museum. They can change the way we see."

Imagining America - "A national movement to connect universities and the communities they serve through the arts and the humanities. Through joint inquiry and projects conceived as true partnerships between town and gown, we seek to bridge the gap that has separated artists and intellectuals from the general public. Imagining America supports campus-community projects and seeks structural changes within colleges and universities that promote --and reward --new levels of engagement by artists and scholars . . . . Artists and Scholars in Public Life is a new national consortium of colleges, universities, and cultural institutions dedicated to supporting the civic work of university artists, humanists, and designers. Imagining America was launched in March 1999 at the White House conference co-sponsored by the University of Michigan, the Woodrow Wilson National Fellowship Foundation, and the White House Millennium Council. It is housed at the University of Michigan."

The Johnson Atelier - "There is no art more dependent on it's technical aspects than sculpture. An ignorance of technique limits a sculptor's creativity, wastes hours of work in bringing a cast to a likeness of the original, and renders the artist captive of the foundry's trade secrecy and commercialism. Until the Industrial Revolution, however, the opposite was true. The home of the foundry was the sculptor's studio, where the results of poor practices and errors in judgment were immediately visited upon the artist, for it was the artist who both created and cast their own work. This system led to quality and efficiency.It is the goal of the Institute to restore the link and the interplay which used to exist between the sculptor and the founding of their work. Its goal is also to educate and train more artisans to be available to aid the sculptor in completing their task, to develop methods for making these processes less costly and more responsive to the sculptor's needs, and finally, to play as small part in whatever forces must come together to bring more sculpture into the 20th century life style."
