Discuss Arts

On the last Arts page of the past semester, we ran a guest commentary on the role of dance at Harvard. This semester we are redoubling our efforts to include guest opinions on the arts from members of the Harvard Community.

Ideally, The Crimson Arts page should be more than a detatched series of reviews. The page should also provide a forum for discussion of cultural issues and events at Harvard, a means by which readers can air their opinions on a wide variety of artistic topics. While some of the potential topics will undoubtably be serious, all of them need not be.

Should the government sponsor controversial exhibits and shows? Has the American Repertory Theater helped or hindered undergraduate drama? Should the Harvard Art Musuems invest valuable resourses in modern art or focus on providing visual accompaniment to Fine Arts courses? Do Harvard students perform too many Shakespeare plays and not enough Broadway musicals? Do student performance groups get enough University support? We'd like your opinions.

Submissions should be between one and two typed pages in length, and they should include the author's name and telephone number. Please send to:
