Spring Break in NYC

Following enrollment in Art in the Metropolis (ARTSINST 11Q) in their winter quarter, students travel to NYC to visit a spectrum of art and performance venues and meet institutional leaders, policy-makers, and art practitioners. On past trips, students have visited museums, galleries, and concert halls; they have seen dance rehearsals, opera, and Broadway shows, and have had the chance to connect with alumni working in the arts. The trip builds on the critical exploration and preparation conducted in Art in the Metropolis. The course and trip will be led this year by Dr Cintia Santana, senior lecturer in Comparative Literature.

Course: Art in the Metropolis

Accepted applicants for the spring break trip are required to enroll in the winter quarter class Art in the Metropolis (ARTSINST 11Q). If accepted, reserve 3 units of space on your Winter Quarter study list. In the seminar, we will prepare for the diverse experiences the trip affords and develop individual projects related to particular works of art, exhibitions, and performances that we’ll encounter in person during the stay in New York.

Applications are welcomed from all undergraduate class years and majors.

This year, the NYC Arts Immersion trip will take place over spring break, March 20 - 27, 2027. To be eligible, students must enroll in ARTSINST 11Q: Art in the Metropolis during winter quarter.

Applications for the 2027 NYC Arts Immersion Program open September 22, 2026 and will be accepted until October 16, 2026.
