OSU Urban Arts Space: Idea Lab Program Proposals


The OSU Urban Arts Space has just launched an exciting new program called the Idea Lab, an incubator for student ideas. Any Ohio State University student from any discipline can submit a concept or "seed" idea during our open application period - now through February 2, 2009 - for the opportunity to earn up to $3500 in project funding made possible by a generous grant from the Efroymson Family Fund, a CICF Fund. Once proposals are accepted, the students will work with the Idea Lab's creative staff of graduate and undergraduate students to flesh out the project, product, or event and turn it into a reality. The Idea Lab requests that a faculty member sponsor each accepted student and their project to provide additional mentoring throughout the process.

The type of supports available through the Idea Lab will vary according to the proposal at hand but will potentially include marketing and advertising assistance, budgeting help, time management advice, brainstorming development, technical and aesthetic expertise, collaboration experience, problem solving strategies and audience development techniques. Students who participate in the Idea Lab program will have an innovative educational opportunity, as well as, a practical entrepreneurial experience. By helping students to navigate the entire creative process from formulation, to implementation, to evaluation, the OSU Urban Arts Space Idea Lab will help generate Ohio State graduates capable of creative problem solving and idea development.

If you have questions, desire more information or would like an application, please email the Idea Lab at UASIdeaLab@osu.edu or call 614.292.8861
