a2ru in the Financial Times

March 31, 2014

Dr. Anthony J. Kolenic, Interim Executive Director at The Alliance for the Arts in Research Universities (a2ru), is quoted in today’s edition of the Financial Times. When asked about the organization’s point of view regarding what is driving the movement towards integrating the arts into other fields of study, Dr. Kolenic had this to say; “The methodologies of the artistic process – a comfort with ambiguity, an ability to execute a vision and to merge that vision with critique – are skills that go beyond the fine arts. This is what’s driving the movement towards integrating the arts into other fields of study.”
