The Qualities of a Curb Scholar

A Curb Scholar exercises a curatorial voice; Scholars organize pieces of reality to create new meaning for others – through exhibitions, festivals, digital media, music compilations and written work.

A Curb Scholar uses creative expression and enterprise to advance the public good; Scholars employ their unique passion and creative energies to serve others, build community, address public problems, and mobilize others toward common goals.

A Curb Scholar is a catalyst and collaborator; Scholars thrive on bringing together diverse skill sets, perspectives and interests toward producing something novel and useful. 

A Curb Scholar celebrates the process of discovery; Scholars take risks, embrace messiness, tolerate ambiguity, and delight in surprise. 

A Curb Scholar has a deep appreciation for workmanship, design, craft, beauty and heritage in addition to valuing novelty and the unconventional.
