About Us

    The Reciprocal University for the Arts Project (RUAP)  is a shared project of California State University Monterey Bay's Visual and Public Arts Institute (VPA) and the Music and Performing Arts Institute (MPAI).   RUAP supports the development of relationships between the University and four local communities: Watsonville, Salinas, Seaside, and Monterey.   These relationships are embedded within our interdisciplinary and service-based arts curriculum.

   RUAP enables our students, faculty, and guest artists to produce performances, projects, and classes in the community and bring community artists, youth supporters, and youth onto campus to teach our students about their experiences.
 
   RUAP
enhances the opportunities for local youth, their families, and their communities to develop a closer relationship with the university and supports youth interested in higher education. Through this partnership, CSUMB students and community youth will come to see the role that art and artists play in transforming community life and as an essential part of public life.
