An advocate for the arts + humanities

The College Arts and Humanities Institute (CAHI) is a hub for the arts and humanities in the College and on the IU Bloomington campus. We provide funding for College faculty and graduate students; sponsor lectures, workshops, and other events; and bring nationally recognized artists and scholars to campus.
