Description
Stanford University’s artsCatalyst Grants are designed to foster interdisciplinary arts experiences within undergraduate courses, with a particular emphasis on integrating the arts into non-arts departments. For the 2026–27 cycle, the program partners with the Center for Just Environmental Futures at the Doerr School to encourage projects that explore sustainability through art and creative practice. The grant supports creative projects, workshops, performances, and immersive experiences that are pedagogically woven into diverse academic contexts, aiming to enrich courses with innovative artistic activities that reimagine possibilities for sustainable living.
