The Arts on Campus
2020 State of the Arts from U of U College of Fine Arts on Vimeo.
The arts at the University of Utah are as abundant and diverse as they are accessible.
Between the five academic units in the College of Fine Arts and the three professional arts organizations (Utah Museum of Fine Arts, UtahPresents and Pioneer Theatre Company), there are hundreds of plays, performances, exhibits, concerts, film screenings
and chances to interact with local and international artists every year.
The best part is that through the U's Arts Pass program, students can use their Ucard to get free or deeply-discounted access to
interesting, perspective-widening, curiosity-piquing, creativity-catalyzing events.
This award-winning program is funded by students Fine Arts Fees and is important because
more and more research is showing the positive impacts of the arts on education. The
findings are significant: exposure to the arts is linked with better critical thinking
skills, greater social tolerance, a greater likelihood of seeking out art and culture
in the future, and better workforce opportunities.
