2020 - 2024
School of Arts, Entertainment, and Design Vision:
To inspire students to connect purpose and imagination to their lives, strive for career and artistic excellence, and contribute to the cultural and workforce needs of Central Florida and beyond.
Spring Arts Week Vision:
To expand the concept of who belongs to the ‘School of’. If successful, people on all campuses will self- identify as part of SAED and have a concept of how to work collaboratively across campuses.
Spring Arts Week Goals:
• To inspire student participation in the arts at Valencia College
• To educate both arts focused and non-arts focused students about creative training opportunities at Valencia College
• To celebrate and showcase the skills and artistry of Valencia students, Alumni, and faculty
• To model, through interdisciplinary collaborations and featured hobbyists, how creative training can supplement a project or a life
• To foster a greater arts community and mutual respect across campuses (Create a sense of an arts community that spans beyond the East Campus)
• To introduce the Valencia community to diverse forms of creative expression, including the traditional, contemporary, and avant garde
• To engage in the conversation “What constitutes art?”
• To facilitate a real-life festival submission process for Valencia artists, encouraging their participation in other Orlando and national art festivals throughout their career.
