Center for Cultural Discovery and Learning

Founded in 2003, the Center for Cultural Discovery and Learning is a university and community partnership to explore our regional cultures and history through diverse perspectives and forms of expression, with Indiana University Northwest as its base. As a designated IU Northwest Area of Academic Excellence, it promotes a “culture of creativity” through support of research and creative projects that serve and tell the story of the seven-county region of northwest Indiana, in six broad areas: Art and Artifacts Exhibits, Education and Exchange Programs, Humanities and Cultural Studies, Public Works Commissions, Research and Consulting Services, and Theatrical and Performance Art. The Center’s success will be measured by its ability to build on IU Northwest’s excellent cultural programs, to capitalize on the region’s growing appreciation and celebration of diversity in all its dimensions, to forge alliances with other cultural loci, and to establish a site for lifelong learning in the cultures and history of northwest Indiana. The partnership calls for leadership in interdisciplinary cultural studies and in community and academic collaborations.
