Arts Transcending Borders (ATB) uses the arts as a catalyst for challenging perspectives, creating dialogue, and encouraging innovation and creative thinking and practice across our campus. We continue to sponsor dynamic virtual programming ranging from lectures by renowned scholars and artists, to unique performances and exhibitions during the pandemic. ATB created the Arts & Creative Resilience webpage initially as a way to honor campus arts projects interrupted mid-semester. It has grown into a space to share joy, comfort, and community through the arts in a time of global upheaval.
