"Composed Order is a philosophy of ideation applicable to all human efforts. It emphasizes the primacy of creativity. Composed Order insists that creativity be harmonious within itself and pleasingly related outside itself. It might be characterized as 'totaly-empathetic' thinking"

Creative Minds in Residence Program

As of September 2007, our Fellowship has changed to a Creative Minds in Residence program.  This will change the 10-week program into a short term residency, primarily to work with students during the academic year.

For consideration to the program, please send a one page biography with a one page proposal outlining what you would like to do to interact with our student population.  We’ll ask for more information later. All correspondence can be sent to the address below.
