Hands-On
Experience:
HECUA works with you to design a 20-hour
per week internship with a community arts
or cultural organization that meets your
learning goals, resonates with program
themes, and supports the work of the selected
organization. Your on-site responsibilities
will contribute to the on-going work of
the organization, and allow you to learn
from extraordinary mentors. Seminars enhance
the internship and help you connect concepts
and theories with the hands-on experiences
you have in the program.
Each student also participates in a group
study project which includes field research
and an opportunity to teach on a topic
chosen by the group.

CREATIVE COMMUNITY ACTIVISM & POPULAR
CULTURE
A vibrant arts community flourishes in the
Twin Cities. A wide spectrum of organizations
and individuals representing diverse cultural
experiences and perspectives provides a
highly creative milieu in which you explore
the multiple roles of art and artists in
society.
City Arts focuses on arts, culture and social
change. You will discover the many ways
that art and culture can and do impact communities
and explore the role of creative work –
performance, writing, visual art, etc. –
in addressing pressing social issues. You
will also gain valuable tools for social
change and vital connections in the community.
Seminar themes focus on the social, cultural
and ideological contexts of art-making and
community building, and the politics of
philanthropy and arts funding. In field
seminars, students engage in dialogue with
a wide variety of local artists, educators
and arts advocates. The group attends performances,
films, and installations as a part of the
learning process.

City
Arts is for students interested in how the arts
and cultural expression link to social issues
and methods for change.
