Art (integration) is for everyone.
Engineering. Music. Chemistry. History. Math. Dance. Psychology. Marketing. Medicine. Faculty from all disciplines are invited to explore how integrating art into their course can improve engagement and learning outcomes for their students.
The ArtInfuse Teaching Program aims to provide faculty with the guidance and tools to refresh a course they're planning to teach in spring 2027. Selected participants will join a small, interdisciplinary cohort to explore ways to integrate arts into their teaching, including assignments, lessons, or other course components. The program is led by the Stanley Museum of Art and the Center for Teaching and consists of:
- Two-to-three interdisciplinary cohort meetings in the fall 2026 and spring 2027 semester.
- One-on-one support from experts in the Stanley Museum of Art and the Center for Teaching.
- The opportunity to apply for $500 in funding to assess the impact of their coursework in summer 2027.
- The option to share the results of your work during the ArtInfuse Teaching Program Showcase in fall 2027.
Applications for the program are due by May 13. Faculty in all tracks are eligible to apply. Selected participants will be notified by late May and the program will begin at the start of the fall 2026 semester.
ArtInfuse Teaching Strategies
Program participants will collaborate to explore innovative solutions to refresh a course by using art, such as:
- How might looking at art jumpstart new ideas for students in your course?
- How do artistic endeavors relate to advancements in science, philosophy, literature, or medicine?
- Could the museum-based study of “close looking” help your students to better notice the detailed information in schematic?
- How might you benefit from cross-pollination with other instructors across campus?
