Placemaking - Open Classroom Mini Grant

The purpose of the Placemaking Open Classroom Minigrant is to support campus projects that meet the Placemaking: UC PlaceBased Art + Design mission. All applicants must be actively teaching or learning at UCSC thus the term “open-classroom.” We encourage faculty to involve students in their projects as much as appropriate and recommend students apply for funds to: work on projects as part of their course work; create new opportunities for independent or group studies; and/or expand graduate research opportunities. The scope of the work should be based (anywhere) in California. The form of the work can be wide-ranging, including visual, performative and written works.

APPLY HERE : The priority deadline for Spring 2019 is May 15, 2019.

This initiative, made possible by a UC Multicampus research grant, includes faculty from UC Berkeley, UC Davis, UC Santa Cruz, and UC Santa Barbara. - OpenLab Director Jennifer Parker is the led Pi at UCSC spearheading and directing placemaking opportunities with faculty and students across campus.
