David G. Pollart Center for Arts and Humanities Sponsorship Request Form

David G. Pollart Center for Arts and Humanities co-sponsors programs that support innovative activities and scholarship centered in Arts and Humanities that nurture cross- and interdisciplinary connection and collaboration, impact WSU students, and advance WSU’s commitment to diversity, inclusion, and community engagement.

Please note that we do not fund conference travel for faculty members. Our Faculty Fellows Program provides travel funding for archival research. Please visit the faculty fellows page for more information. We co-sponsor a limited amount of travel when the students participate in arts and humanities research and/or showcase their work beyond WSU at a regional or national platform.

If you have received funding from the DGPCAH, we ask that you fill out this post-event form and return it to arts.humanities@wsu.edu within one week of the event. This will help us share the good news of your events with external constituents.

Pollart Center Theme -- Embodied Communities: Identity, Storytelling, and the Public Good

The David G. Pollart Center for Arts and Humanities invites individuals to reflect on how human lives are lived, shaped, and understood in relation to one another. What does it mean to inhabit an identity, whether in a body, a place, a language, a tradition? How do stories, broadly conceived, give form to experience, sustain memory, and open space for dialogue across differences? This theme asks us to consider how creative and scholarly work in the arts and humanities engages lived experience as both personal and collective, and how those engagements circulate in public life.

Individuals submitting a sponsorship request are urged to connect their proposal to the 2026-2027 theme.
