Every work of art begins with something deeply felt: an idea worth pursuing, a question that begs exploration, a story or sound or image that asks to be brought into the world. But making the work is only part of the experience. Art also asks to be seen, heard, and shared. From the moment the semester begins, our students pour every bit of themselves into their work. Then after hours of practice, days of preparation, and months of refinement, the audience becomes a privileged participant in a powerful, shared moment. It can happen in a gallery or on a stage. Sometimes it strikes when a choir’s transcendent harmonies send shivers up your spine. Or when you lose yourself inside the details of a photograph or are transported to another time and place inside a darkened theatre. These are the moments when we stop watching and start seeing. If you have experienced moments like these, support the artists that make them possible by donating to the Dean’s Fund for Excellence. Your generosity will help to ensure students have access to meaningful on- and off-campus opportunities including artist’s residencies, masterclasses, conferences, and intensives that empower their creativity. Shape the future of the arts today. Consider a gift of any amount to the Dean’s Fund for Excellence. Thank you for joining us for the College of the Arts’ Fall Events Season. There is so much to explore. From new artistic perspectives and compelling stories to bold visions and timeless favorites. Let’s discover where this season takes us, together! Be Well, Arnold Holland, Ed.D Douglas G. Stewart, Dean of the College of the Arts
