about engagement
Why engage?
As part of a major public university, we have a rare opportunity to reach tomorrow’s builders and thinkers. As a result, we focus on programs that integrate the arts into the academic fabric of UC San Diego, working closely with departments and faculty because we believe that new perspectives lead to new innovations and new solutions.
When working with youth, we create opportunities to connect directly with artists and encourage students to find their own creative voices because artistic engagement should be a source of inspiration, too.
With our community members, engagement with the arts is that rare opportunity to meet your neighbors face-to-face and share something rich and powerful that opens minds and strengthens social bonds. These effects translate far beyond the theater. Which is why we see engagement with the arts as a tool for communal self-reflection.
An artist may only be in town for one performance, but with ArtPower! Engagement, the impact is lasting.
