Free Food from UCLA Dining Halls at Bruin Dine!

Do you want free food from the UCLA dining halls? Come to Bruin Dine, a student-run organization that works to eliminate food waste and reduce food insecurity at UCLA by recovering the unserved, hot food from the dining halls and redistributing it for free. Everyone is welcome!

When: 10pm every Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday

The only thing that we ask from people who come to our event is to bring your own container since we are trying to reduce waste at our events. We have containers on hand in case you don’t have one but it would be super helpful if you could bring one! 

You should also follow us on instagram @uclabruindine since we post any updates on our events there and you can DM with any questions you might have!

At the University of Chicago, we believe art is a cultural product, and as such, we encourage students to explore the specific artistic concerns pertinent to their work, as well as relevant theoretical, social and historical issues.

Our MFA student body is comprised of artists working in sculpture, photography, painting, installation, performance, video and new media. Students are expected to work with all faculty, whose expertise cross a number of disciplines.  We believe that art should not be an isolating activity and that students/artists benefit from the cross-fertilization of daily contact with people working across different media and dealing with similar sets of issues.

The University of Chicago Department of Visual Arts will be hosting a virtual open house for prospective students on Thursday, November 21 at 2:00 PM CST. 

During this session we will provide an overview of the MFA in Visual Arts program and answer questions about graduate study and the graduate application process at the University of Chicago. 

Individuals interested in learning more about our program can RSVP at apply-humanities.uchicago.edu/register/mfaoh2024

The Undergraduate Interdisciplinary Research Association (UIRA) at UCLA is organizing Routes to Research November 18th from 7-9pm at the De Neve Plaza Rooms, an event to support students in refining their research interests and provide them with guidance from experienced researchers. If you are actively conducting research, we encourage you to present at our event to share your current research projects, field questions from undergraduates about the research process, and offer insights into their respective fields. Our goal is to encourage more “informal” chats with undergrads to learn more about research. 

If you are interested in presenting at Routes to Research, please fill out this interest form by November 13th at 11:59pm. We hope to see you there.

(Los Angeles, CA) — The California African American Museum (CAAM) and Art + Practice (A+P) announce the presentation of a retrospective highlighting the work of media arts innovator and community leader Ben Caldwell. The multimedia exhibition KAOS Theory: The Afrokosmic Media Arts of Ben Caldwell will be on view October 12, 2024–March 8, 2025 at A+P in Leimert Park.

Born in 1945 in New Mexico, Ben Caldwell is a dreamer from the desert who spent his youth gazing at the sky and watching his grandfather project films at a local movie theater. After being drafted and serving in the Vietnam War, Caldwell shed his gun for a camera and eventually landed in Los Angeles to pursue an MFA in film at UCLA, coming of age within the groundbreaking LA Rebellion film movement of the 1960s to 1980s. 

Working closely with other Black filmmakers and educators, Caldwell envisioned cinema as an instrument that could heal and emancipate. In 1984, he opened KAOS Network, the media arts hub that has helped steward Leimert Park Village’s traditions of Black artistry, fellowship, and love for over four decades.
