We are a living laboratory for the arts, where success is measured in lines of dialogue, sheets of music and slabs of clay. Our alumni leave lasting legacies by contributing to the vitality of the arts nationally and globally, and can be found in all facets of the thriving art and entertainment industries. Each year, the college enthusiastically opens its doors to more than 40,000 students, campus and community members who attend the hundreds of concerts, exhibitions, workshops, masterclasses, visiting artists’ lectures and performances we present.”
