Each spring semester, a call for Proposals urges students to plan the artistic and administrative elements of unique projects, which in the past have taken Juilliard's young artists around the world - to Brazil, Guatemala, Haiti, Indonesia, Kenya, Korea, Nigeria, Nova Scotia, Peru, The Philippines, Scotland, South Africa, Tanzania, Uganda, and Zimbabwe. Some, such as Art Powers Arusha in Tanzania (founded in 2009); Artists Striving to End Poverty (ASTEP) with projects in New York, India, Florida, Africa, and Ecuador; and Detroit Arts Immersion (founded in 2009) have become continuing programs. These summer residencies deepen the students' understanding of their role and impact as artists, and the projects benefit others, often in underserved areas of the United States and the world.
