Application Deadline: Feb. 1, 2013
PLEASE NOTE: The 8-person townhouse is not available for the 2013-14 academic year, and only a limited number of 4 and 6-person townhouses/apartments are available. To apply for housing at ArtStreet, groups must be made up of 4 or 6 same-gender juniors and seniors.
Application Process:
- House group leader must go to myhousing.udayton.edu to create organizational roommate group. Group name should be ArtStreet followed by group leader name. For example, ArtStreet - Jane Doe
- Email all group members the name of the roommate group and the password so they can add their name to the group that the group leader created.
- ALL roommate group members must visit myhousing.udayton.edu to complete the individual housing contract and join the roommate group.
- IMPORTANT: ArtStreet applicants do not need to complete steps 8 & 9 on myhousing.udayton.edu. This is for neighborhood houses only (ArtStreet is considered a living learning community, not a neighborhood house).

MISSION and VALUES:
1. How will your group contribute to the mission and goals of ArtStreet?
2. Why are the arts important to your group and how do you participate?
ACCOMPLISHMENTS:
3. CREATIVE SERVICE PROJECT: Each ArtStreet house is required to conduct an arts-based service project during the 2013-2014 school year designed to promote the arts in our community. Please explain your creative service project idea, and articulate how each of your members will incorporate your interests/skills/activities from question #1 into this project for the ArtStreet, UD campus, or Dayton community. This description should be no more than 250 words and should get to the ‘heartbeat’ of the project’s spirit and why your house should be the one to bring the project to the UD Campus and community. Successful projects in the past have been the creation of original art works for local hospitals and special-support housing, lead art programs in schools where the arts have been cut, story-teller concert series, etc.
4. SMART GOALS: Please list 3 SMART goals that will help you implement and accomplish your service project. Please make sure that one of your goals also addresses how your group will improve/contribute to the neighborhood community as described in the University’s Commitment to Community document.
5. LOCATION: Please indicate your first, second, and third choices for housing location if you are selected to reside at ArtStreet.
