The Creative Arts Across Disciplines (CAAD) Initiative at Vassar and the Sustainability Office invite proposals for The Collaboratory, a space available to the entire Vassar community for making and showing creative work. Any student or student group can apply to use The Collaboratory for a creative project in any discipline, however priority will be given to those projects that are arts-based, interdisciplinary, creative, and/or collaborative in nature.

The Collaboratory is a retrofitted trailer with dimensions of approximately 24Lx8Wx7H. It is outfitted with electrical wiring and is powered by a small solar array and battery storage system. The solar array means that the Collaboratory does not require external power and may parked anywhere on campus. Projects using the space must be in accordance with responsible use policies (to be provided upon successful application). Possible uses of The Collaboratory include, but are in no way limited to, site-specific performance or installation, gallery-style project display, film screening, and all manner of creative workshops. If you have questions about possible uses of The Collaboratory please contact Tom Pacio, Interdisciplinary Arts Coordinator (thpacio@vassar.edu) or the Sustainability Office (sustainability@vassar.edu).
