Administered by the Council of Heads of College, the Creative and Performing Arts (CPA) Awards support on-campus plays and musicals, publications, concerts, video and film, dance, visual arts, collective arts projects, or comedy/spoken word productions in each residential college.
These projects are supported by the Sudler Fund, the Welch Art Fund, and the Bates Fund. Ideally, productions should be held within the residential colleges; if that is not possible, productions must take place on campus. (Projects may be staged at the CoOp High School or at the Educational Center for the Arts by special arrangement with Undergraduate Production).
All applicants should review the full information provided in the CPA Guidelines and consult with their Head of College prior to submission. Application may be made two times each year; A student cannot be a primary proposer for more than one project per term. Students may apply in September for projects produced in the Fall semester, or that will be produced in the Spring semester prior to Spring Break. Students may apply in January for projects produced anytime during the Spring semester.
In addition to consulting their Head of College, students may also consult with other relevant faculty and administrators on campus. By submitting an application, the Proposer attests that the proposed project consists of original work and that duplicate proposals are not being submitted to other residential colleges. Additional questions about eligibility may be directed to Heads of College.
