ARTSFEST 2021
ACKOWLEDGEMENTS
A huge thanks to everyone who has supported Arts Scholars this year — we couldn’t have done it without you!
A special thanks to Harold Burgess, Heather Bremenstuhl, and Gabi Tillenburg for their help and support, and our Spring 2021 Arts Scholars Teaching Assistants: Maddie Brodeur, Judy Choi, Celia Cook, Alex Curry, Kate DeBlasis, Eva King, Melissa Olisse, Asad Rizvi, Damien Singelmann, Ashley Wagner, and Haley Zawitoski.
We would also like to recognize the many artists within our community that have contributed to our experiential programming in colloquium and during Arts Field Trips. Your knowledge and energy have inspired us, energized us, and helped us connect as a community of artists and scholars.
The Arts Scholars program and Arts Fest 2021 has been made possible through the support of the College of Arts and Humanities, Undergraduate Studies, and College Park Scholars.
