We know science is booming at UW-Madison. Less heralded publicly, perhaps, are the arts. But if science is the big dog on campus, then the arts are like a terrier, a steady companion over the years, now barking for attention. Enter The Year of the Arts. A brainchild of former Chancellor John Wiley, he wanted to point the spotlight on arts and humanities on campus. Last year, the university declared it the Year of Humanities. This year, it?s time for the arts to shine. So, appropriately, the theme for The Year of the Arts is ?Illuminate.?
