College of Visual & Performing Arts
The College of Visual and Performing Arts transforms lives through exceptional artistic and scholarly experiences. True to our mission as a public university, we continue to create essential arts experiences that enrich not only our campus but communities across the Southeast.
Our students benefit from abundant performance opportunities, hands‑on learning, studio training of the highest caliber, personalized mentorship, and research that pushes artistic boundaries.
Through Light the Way, these strengths have been further elevated. Support from donors is propelling us toward national recognition – expanding opportunities for emerging artists, enhancing our programs and facilities, and strengthening our impact across the region. Your generosity ensures that we will continue to inspire, innovate, and lead as one of the nation’s premier arts institutions.
