Dean’s Student Travel Grants

Application Deadline is Wednesday February 21, 2025 at 5:00pm

UNM’s Fine Arts Dean’s Office is pleased to announce the availability of travel grants to select Fine Arts students.

Do you want to travel outside of New Mexico, or even outside the U.S.A. to elevate your learning? The Dean’s Office wants to help you! Now Accepting Travel Grant Applications!
Application Deadline is February 21, 2025 at 5:00pm.

Launched in 2013, the Fine Arts Dean’s Travel Grant Award program has been able to send over 200 students to study and perform around the globe. What these students bring back to our College, campus, and community is priceless. Awarded to UNM Fine Arts majors wanting to participate in a learning experience, course, competition, festival, workshop, conference or other educational programs outside of New Mexico. This grant has a cap of $1,000. You must be a UNM Fine Arts major currently registered at the University of New Mexico.

Please note that group submissions will no longer be accepted. You may apply for a grant to travel as part of a group, but to maximize awards and their impact, only individual applications will be considered. There is no limit to the number of people who can be awarded to travel for the same event.

Please reach out to fineartsdean@unm.edu with any questions.

Testimonials

I’m very grateful for the grant because it allowedme to travel to present at the National Associationfor Music Education Biennial Music Research andTeacher Education Conference in Atlanta, Georgia. The CFA Dean’s Travel Grant (2023) allowed me to continue developing my research during my studies at UNM, where I am pursuing an M.M. Program of Musicology. I have been working with Professor Olivia Tucker to guide my research about the struggles that Mariachi Teachers in Secondary Schools face in getting a license and teaching in the public schools. We were accepted to present this research at the conference in Georgia. It was well-received.

A Step into the Shadows: Ghost Sonata Haunts the Stage

,

The Student and Colonel’s Daughter are locked in a vice-grip, their hands glued to each other’s heads, rotating around, dipping and swirling, as it appears some great force has overtaken both. How can something be violent and tender? The Daughter is fighting something within that is about to burst out, and the Student is helping her keep it at bay. Eventually, the unknown force wins.

Emma Ressel (b. Bar Harbor, ME) is an artist working with large format film photography to make still life images with natural history collections. Her images aim to complicate the boundaries between dead versus alive, nature versus artifice, and beauty versus the grotesque. She is currently collaborating with biologists to problematize ideas around animal preservation and explore how science processes and institutions reveal our desire for proximity with nature.
