Artist as citizen: Art and Community Service course
March 23, 2015
At the Massachusetts College of Art, a course entitled Art and Community Service emphasizes the artist s role as an active citizen by finding socially meaningful outlets for students creativity. In addition to readings and frequent journal writings, students in the class are required to develop an art-related community service project. In the past, students in the class have helped design brochures for local nonprofits, painted murals for local schools, and visited hospitals to provide art therapy for patients.
