Center for the Arts

The Center for the Arts is a learning laboratory where people come together to experience the arts. We organize and host interdisciplinary exhibitions, programs, and research opportunities that explore critical creative practice and the role of art in contemporary life. Through partnerships with faculty, staff, and community organizations, we aim to build a vibrant creative ecosystem within and beyond the university.

 

What we do: 

  • Organize contemporary art exhibitions at Gallery360
  • Partner with faculty and students on events, class visits, and gallery tours 
  • Support interdisciplinary creative research across the university
