Mission Statement:
Mission Statement: CIRA has been committed to cutting-edge,
interdisciplinary arts research since its inception in 1986. CIRA
encourages bordercrossings: between artists and scholars; between
disciplines and schools; between faculty, staff, and students; and
between Northwestern and outside communities. Since 1996, CIRA's focus
has been to promote and fund art works that are interdisciplinary
and/or collaborative in their creation, production, or dissemination.
Traditionally the arts have been an area in which new ideas are tested,
norms are challenged, and possibilities are entertained. CIRA supports
such innovative work.
