About
The Center for Innovation in the Arts, formerly the Music Technology Center, was created in 1995 to provide music students with opportunities to learn about the application of technology in music composition, production and performance. In 2010, the Center moved to a new facility, which includes a record and mix room and a digital production studio all linked to the Willson black box theater, home for Juilliard's technology-driven performances. In 2012 the name was changed to the Center for Innovation in the Arts to reflect the increase in innovative and interdisciplinary activities among students in all three of Juilliard’s Divisions.
