We aim to make encounters with art and creativity cornerstones of the Emory experience. The CCA supports artistic and scholarly inquiry; explores familiar as well as innovative collaborations; encourages artistic experimentation; and frames the imaginative spark that ignites a creative campus. The CCA communicates the richness of the artistic and creative work on campus to our students, faculty, staff, and the larger Atlanta community.

Stimulating collaboration and interdisciplinary exploration.
