Interdisciplinary Arts and Media, IMAGe Unit
IMAGe Unit, Interdisciplinary Media and Arts Group, is a collective of Columbia College Chicago Interdisciplinary Arts and Media MFA candidates dedicated to the principles of collaborative and individual creative excellence. IMAGe Unit artists come from diverse cultural and creative backgrounds in visual, sound, writing, performance, dance, and digital arts. We are committed to the exchange of ideas across media, taking risks across artistic disciplines and to the creation of exceptional works of art.
Goals:
- Promote Interdisciplinary Arts and Media MFA student work
- Improve campus community via creative exchange
- Empower emerging artists in professional development
This past fall, IMAGe Unit sponsored a Student Salon. Students from the MA and MFA programs displayed, performed, and screened their work; discussion with students and faculty followed each piece. In December, the students had an artist T-Shirt sale and Borders Books collaborated on a project to benefit the organization.
