Fall into the arts this season with ArtsUW
Art has power. It has the power to stir the imagination, provoke thought, share beauty, and connect communities. The UW Arts and Creativity Initiative (ArtsUW) aims to bring together students, artists, scholars and audiences in state-of-the-art facilities to catalyze creative discovery.
“Art is too important not to share.”
-Brazilian painter Romero Britto
From the growing collection of public arts across our campuses, to programming and events, ArtsUW serves as a hub to unite our neighbors and our students and faculty in discovery, curiosity, and creativity.
This season, join us as we celebrate life with art and the return of fall arts programming. UW students and employees can receive special perks and discounts such as:
- Free admission to the Henry Art Gallery and Burke Museum
- Discounted performance tickets to the Meany Center for the Performing Arts, School of Drama, Department of Dance, School of Music and DXARTS.
