CETA = Community Engagement Through the Arts.
We began teaching CETA at Transylvania University in 2008 as a way to build and sustain meaningful connections between the Transylvania community and Transylvania's near neighbors to the North and East. We teach CETA every spring semester. At times, we make large-scale public artworks as part of this class. At times, the two of us create small-scale artworks that engage different communities but are not directly connected to CETA.
