Innovation Summary
The AAAD Lyceum is the unique artistic space on campus that will expose the JMU community to the artistic cultures of Africans, African Americans, and people from African-descended communities around the world like in the Caribbean and Brazil. Each semester, it will bring to campus acclaimed performers in music, theater and dance who will collaborate with creative writers, visual artists, and designers. These artists, writers, composers, and designers will share their knowledge in masterclasses and community lectures and performances, inspiring faculty and students to create new compositions and exhibitions that they will share with our entire community both on and off campus.
