The Artistic Innovators Collective is a fluid group of around forty artists from across the globe who regularly engage with Brown in a variety of ways: to push the boundaries of discipline, to teach, to work, to experiment, to safely fail and take risks, to undertake rigorous and long-term exchange with our campus and surrounding communities.
Members Collectively Value:
- Building connections between like-minded/spirited artists and creative people
- A slow evolution towards the formation of a meaningful, impactful entity representing the acknowledged needs and expansive dreams of artists at different levels of accomplishment
- Mutual acknowledgment that we are complex beings navigating complex worlds, each with complex pasts and complex futures
Membership in the Artistic Innovators Collective is evolving and ongoing. Below please find a few examples of recent Innovator projects, teaching, campus research and project development. Stay tuned for more projects on the horizon!
