Overview
Urban Arts Space's Hybrid Arts Lab is a multi-venue learning lab that experiments with how art is imagined, made, viewed, and understood. Hybrid Arts Lab encourages collaboration, experimental approaches to artmaking, and an inclination towards asking big questions that ignite thoughtful conversations.
Hybrid Arts Lab showcases collaborative and experimental exhibitions, performances, and discussions by art makers and researchers in the College of Arts and Sciences. Art makers and researchers are invited to explore new ways of integrating and circulating their creative activity, teaching, and research within the associated venues:
