Arts Everywhere has a sweeping mission to bolster arts innovation, and funding is a big part of it. Among the financial support the UNC-Chapel Hill initiative provides is the Student Arts Innovation Grant, an annual award of $1,000 for select undergraduate and graduate students at Carolina.
Each year, students submit proposals for arts-related projects, which they agree to complete within a year of being chosen. The resulting works are meant to infuse Carolina’s campus with creativity and allow the grant winners to shape that space in a meaningful way.
“At their core, the arts are what make us human,” said Kathryn Wagner, associate director of Arts Everywhere. “We believe that the students behind these SAI grant projects have the artistic power to affect what our community looks like, moving society forward into a more just, emphatic and innovative future, whilst contributing to the larger landscape of art at UNC in lasting and meaningful ways.”

Alysse Scaturro helped introduce Orangetheory Fitness to North Carolinaâs Charlotte market, first as a sales associate and manager before she eventually became a franchisee, growing Orangetheoryâs footprint in the region to 14 studios. Still an owner in that brand, Scaturro and husband Lou relocated to Colorado last year, where she was helping another Orangetheory franchisee with the reopening process amid the COVID-19 pandemic while searching for her next franchise.
âWe just werenât finding anything we were super passionate about,â said Scaturro, but then one of her Orangetheory partners put PetWellClinic on her radar and âday one, we were so excited about it.â Scaturro signed a 12-unit deal to open PetWellClinics in the Denver metro.

Tomoya Averett is a senior at Utah State University. She said she’s spent her entire college career reclaiming her identity as black women.
“Because who cares if you say the N word or use blackface at Halloween, if you go to church on Sunday, right? I can count timeless recollections of times when I ve heard microaggressions like you re so smart for a black man, or you re so pretty for a black girl. (These are) the silent killers that makes it hard for the black community, especially here in Logan to lead with compassion,” said Averett.
