The Fund for Irish Studies is a partner of Princeton University's Lewis Center for the Arts, an academic unit made up of the programs in Creative Writing, Dance, Theater and Music Theater, Visual Arts and the Princeton Atelier. The Lewis Center believes that art arises out of questions. Art, on a campus like Princeton’s, is more than an “outlet” for expressing what one already knows and feels, or an “escape hatch” for blowing off steam built up by more rigorous kinds of work. The Center's classes and minor programs operate on the principle that artistic practice is a form of research, innovation, discovery and intervention. Like scholarship of any kind, rigorous artistic practice is a way of interrogating that which is accepted or understood in an attempt to break into unknown or under-explored territory.
