Fine Arts at UA: Be Inspired

Turn your artistic and academic aspirations into accomplishments!

• inspired by talented and caring faculty and acclaimed visiting artists. Award-winning actor John Lithgow visited campus. Ann Hamilton, one of contemporary art’s most influential voices, also paid a visit.
• surrounded by outstanding facilities. UA’s Center for Dance and Theatre at Guzzetta Hall is world class, and adjacent E.J. Thomas Performing Arts Hall is the region's flagship performance venue.
• connected with potential employers. Portfolio showcases hosted by UA’s fully accredited programs in Graphic Design are among the many ways that students get noticed in their fields.
