    the Woodbury Art Museum.

    gallery space.

    classes in the arts as part of the general education requirement. This beautiful Center for the Arts will be a
    visual icon for campus and for the community.

Vision:

    Music, dance, visual arts, and theater performance provide peak human experiences for every generation. Evidence of art’s civilizing influences defines the progress of  humankind since the dawn of time. Each of us has felt that influence listening to a mesmerizing symphony, gazing at a glorious painting or sculpture, watching a breathtaking ballet, or laughing and crying our way through a play. Art defines us as human; it joins us to each other, connects us with past cultures and peoples, and links us to future generations.    

    A rich and inclusive UVU artistic education opens doors to a meaningful and worthwhile university education. The School of the Arts teaches students how to provide and appreciate artistic experiences. Our faculty offers students opportunities to extend and deepen their artistic training; to refine performing skills and abilities; and to broaden artistic literacy campus-wide. The School has approximately 1,500 majors in various artistic disciplines and over 20,000 students from across campus attend one or more arts-related general education courses each year. We offer Bachelor degrees in 13 artistic disciplines and Associate degrees in four.

We invite you to engage with the School of the Arts and enjoy an extraordinary educational adventure-a life-long journey of artistic engagement!
