Community Arts (MA)

MA in Community Arts (MACA) students develop their own artistic voice as they investigate the relationship of the citizen artists, art, and community-building. Real-world experiences are supported by classroom study and independent studio work; students also develop proposals for and implement their own community art project.

  1. Community Arts Convening and Research Project: Call for Proposals

    Maryland Institute College of Art (MICA) seeks applications for three to four writing group fellowships to participate in the 2010-2011 Community Arts Convening and Research Project. The Convening and Research Project is funded by the Nathan Cummings Foundation and sponsored by MICA. It is guided by the vision that community-grounded arts and culture enhance the well-being, development, empowerment, and voice of disenfranchised communities. The Project provides a platform for college and university faculty and students; community-based practitioners; and community scholars, leaders, and youth to meet and generate new ideas; share resources and models for best practices in the field; reflect new curricula and pedagogy; define and solve problems; develop action plans; identify and conduct new research; develop leadership in the field, and cultivate new partnerships.
