VCU- April 16, 2024
“With performances that highlight the present — and the promising future — at Virginia Commonwealth University, its School of the Arts celebrated the upcoming CoStar Center for the Arts and Innovation with a gathering Thursday at the Institute for Contemporary Art at VCU that offered a glimpse of the facility as construction begins this spring.
Interdisciplinary collaboration and partnerships are how VCU helps solve problems and serve communities, said VCU President Michael Rao, Ph.D., and the CoStar Center for Arts and Innovation expands that commitment. In its accommodation of disciplines ranging from opera to quantum computing, the CoStar Center for Arts and Innovation reflects the belief in the power of intellectual and social diversity to achieve positive change.
Positioned on the southeast corner of West Broad and Belvidere streets, across from the ICA at VCU and near Fortune 500 companies and local startups, the CoStar Center for Arts and Innovation will provide a launch pad for digital and creative economy initiatives on the VCU campus and in the city. Features will include flexible classroom spaces, interdisciplinary performance venues and maker spaces for rapidly growing partnerships across arts, business, humanities, sciences, medicine and engineering.
Place and space are a key tenet of art and design, said Carmenita Higginbotham, Ph.D., dean of VCUarts.”
