Abstract:
Faculty in the Arts and Administration Program are making plans for the revitalization of the
University of Oregon Institute for Community Arts Studies (ICAS) during the 2004-05 academic
year, aiming to re-launch the Institute as the Center for Community Arts and Cultural Policy
(CCACP) in October 2005. With research foci in the interdisciplinary fields of community arts,
cultural heritage, and cultural policy, CCACP will sustain and strengthen arts and culture
throughout the American West through research, policy, education, and community engagement.
