About Us
The Stanford Arts Institute (SAI) promotes the arts as an integral element of education and research at the University. It offers interdisciplinary curricula and programs that center the arts as a mode of inquiry, foster a culture of creativity, forge connections across departments, and amplify Stanford’s spirit of innovation. Since its founding in 2006, the Stanford Arts Institute has catalyzed the Stanford arts community to grow and thrive.
Courses offered by the Stanford Arts Institute are listed under the subject code ARTSINST on the Stanford Bulletin's ExploreCourses website. The Stanford Arts Institute offers two IDPs in interdisciplinary arts: the Inter-Arts Minor and Honors in the Arts. Both support undergraduate capstones that center research creation, combine two or more kinds of art practice, or blend art and research in some creative yet rigorous way. We welcome all forms of creative expression - from visual art to dance, theater to creative writing, game design to film, fashion, or multimedia installations. Both programs are open to students in any major. Their shared aim is to allow students across the University to deepen their understanding of the arts, to familiarize themselves with creative theory and techniques, and to make meaningful connections between their home disciplines and art practice.
