4 minutes, 33 seconds competition

The second annual “4 minutes, 33 seconds: Spotlight on Scholarship” competition will feature graduate students in the arts sharing their research with the community. The competition is inspired by John Cage’s 1952 composition 4’33,” which challenged audiences to reconsider the relationship between artistic practice and philosophy. Students will have four minutes, 33 seconds to explain their research, and two prizes of $433 will be awarded during the competition, fittingly scheduled for 4:33 p.m. on Nov. 5 in the Balcony Theatre at the Fine Arts Building. Be sure to vote for the audience-favorite winner. Sponsored by the UGA Arts Council; part of the Spotlight on the Arts Festival.
