What happens when we “rewind” our relationship with the natural world and imagine new ways for human and ecological systems to thrive together?

Arts for All will sponsor up to four UMD students to attend the 2026 Emerging Creatives Student Summit, March 5-8 at Michigan State University sponsored by a2ru. This year’s theme, “Rewilding: New Stories of Collective Wellbeing,” invites students from all disciplines to collaborate on innovative, cross-disciplinary projects exploring creativity, community and sustainability. 

All travel, lodging and registration fees will be covered by Arts for All. Apply by Thu, November 27, 2025 to represent Maryland at this national summit!

A2ru was a fantastic experience and much worthwhile. Thank you so much for this awesome opportunity!
