Every day someone around here is talking about content curation, and CAA Arts Access is bringing it to life for our alumni. The program, which re-launched last year and is also open to staff, has quickly become a hub for alumni in arts. Whether we are talking about a School of the Arts MFA graduate working on her third novel or an Engineering alumnus who casually attends Broadway musicals, CAA Arts Access is a resource and network.
Patty Tsai ’11TC and Asha Kaufman curate arts content from across our schools and New York City and producing exclusive events for alumni. Each event presents a new opportunity to connect with other Columbians and the University. The following line-up is just a sample of what CAA Arts Access has to offer.
- Last week, in collaboration with the Columbia Venture Community, Arts Access members, tech professionals, and entrepreneurs visited the Columbia Start-Up Lab for a lively discussion on the future of the arts.
- Tomorrow, CAA Arts Access and the Black Alumni Council present a special tour of Romare Bearden’s A Black Odyssey at the Wallach Gallery with English Professor Robert G. O’Meally and Diedra Harris Kelley, who co-directs the Romare Bearden Foundation.
- On April 7, alumni can join producer Barbara Whitman ’05SOA and composer Jeanine Tesori ’83BC for special preview of Fun Home, a Pulitzer Prize-nominated Broadway musical.
- On April 12, alumni and families can check out the contemporary circus Catch Me! and learn some acrobatics of their own in a performing skills workshop.
Keep an eye on the CAA Arts Access calendar, bookmark the blog, and share news and events with alumni. You may even want to catch the next show yourself!
