As a premiere arts institution, it is important to provide students with opportunities to hone their craft and take advantage of opportunities to learn about other aspects of the arts including both visual and performing arts. The Art Appreciation committee focuses on programs that enable students to take part in experiential activities, attending student exhibitions, hearing guest lecturers, or attending local art museums. This committee is also responsible for planning MICA Talks in February.
The Music & Performance committee is responsible for bringing performance based events to campus, specifically through the Coffeehouse series. These events provide a creative outlet for students outside of their coursework, and offer space to highlight and appreciate the MICA community’s music and performance based talents. Performances can include singer/songwriters, DJs, bands, poets, magicians, comedians, instrumental musicians, a cappella groups, and more.
The Exploring Baltimore committee seeks to encourage students’ exploration beyond MICA’s campus. These events allow students to become more familiar with their surroundings in addition to local opportunities and resources. Additionally, this committee is encouraged to partner with civically-orientated community organizations to plan programs that promote social responsibility, activism, and service. Some examples include trips to the inner harbor, service-based events, museum tours, workshops with local vendors or artists, or taking a trip to Six Flags.
