    2001 Future of the Arts Report 1 The Future of the Arts at the University of Chicago August 2001 Table of Contents Introduction Page 2 Study Recommendations Page 4 Role of the Arts Page 5 The Arts Curriculum Page 7 Student Arts Page 9 Professional Arts Organizations Page 11 Arts in the City Page 13 Organization and Process Recommendations Page 15 Facilities Needs and Objectives Page 17 Facilities Recommendations Page 23 Conclusion Page 29 Appendices Page 30 Introduction Introduction Experiencing the creative arts is a fundamental part of knowing ourselves as humans and of understanding those different from ourselves. Whether painting or poetry, film or theater, music or dance, artistic creation addresses the deepest questions of the human condition. A great research university should nurture the unique and powerful role of the arts in the education of the whole person. University President Ernest DeWitt Burton recognized this when he wrote in 1925: “We need to supplement science and the scientific study of all branches of knowledge with the finer arts of music and painting, of sculpture and architecture. We owe it to our students, to whom it is our ambition to give the best possible education. We owe it to our professors, that they not become dry-as- dust investigators and lecturers but symmetrically developed and cultivated personalities. We owe it to our community.” Today, more students, faculty, staff, and general audiences engage with the arts on our campus than ever before. This increased participation has been paralleled by growth in the quality and diversity of our arts programs and activities.
