This week at Arts Scholars...

Get Involved!

Scholars in Action
Program Representatives are the bridge between Scholars in Action and each Scholars program, linking Scholars students to upcoming service events. There are only three of us on the Executive Board, so we need you to connect us with your program and perform the following duties:

Be available on Sundays from 5-6 PM for general body meetings. Our meetings will typically be every other week, however, we do ask for some flexibility when we are organizing multiple projects.
Communicate with your Scholars program peers about upcoming SIA service events through emails, announcement or other means.
Attend and assist us in some of the service projects we host.
Familiarize yourself with your Scholars program director and explore potential service projects specific to your program (especially programs with service requirements).

Being a Program Representative for SIA is a great leadership position that allows you to be more involved with Scholars, and it doesn't require a huge amount of time commitment. Apply here.

Under what circumstances can a society skew their morality for comfort and personal gain? Set in the fictitious town of Gullen, experience the story of a woman's revenge on a community that cast her out when she was pregnant and impoverished. This play, an allegorical dark comedy, features a village of citizens - set into motion as a mob of dancing birds, whose sweeping murmurations turn ferocious. The play arcs from absurdist to barbarous in order to question what happens when civil ethics, personal morality, patriarchal rule, justice and democracy go amok.

Inspired! Jim Henson at Maryland
Thursday, August 8, 2019 - Tue , May 26, 2020 (all day)
Michelle Smith Performing Arts Library in the Clarice Smith Performing Arts Center
https://www.lib.umd.edu/mspal/gallery
The exhibit provides a window into the profound impact Henson’s experiences on campus, both in the classroom and in his extra-curricular activities, had on his creative and professional development, laying the foundation for a remarkable career that included the creation of the Muppets and beyond. Featured are 25 pieces of original art created by Jim Henson (1936-1990), theatrical programs and ephemera, photographs, and an interactive digital archive of Henson’s sketchbooks, student projects, and press clippings from The Jim Henson Company Archives, Special Collections in Performing Arts, and UMD's University Archives. Video clips from the 1950s and 1960s demonstrate the breadth of Henson’s genius, already evident in his early work on local Washington television.

Lia Halloran: The Same Sky Overarches Us All

September 5 to November 22
Monday to Friday, 11 am to 4 pm
Art/Sociology Building
The exhibition explores the lesser-known history of early women astronomers and the central role they played in modern astronomy, including the discovery and documentation of major celestial bodies. Using large-scale cyanotypes -- a photographic printing process developed in the mid-nineteenth century, primarily for scientific use -- Halloran examines how perception, time, and scale informs the human desire to understand the world and our emotional and psychological place within it. The exhibition also features her first immersive, three-channel video installation, Double Horizon (2019), an aerial exploration of the space above Los Angeles.
