Arts & Performance

USF’s College of The Arts is a college of artistic disciplines and expressions that offers a wide variety of musical concerts, art exhibits and theatre and dance performances. The college consists of four schools – Art & Art History, Music, Theatre & Dance, Architecture & Community Design – and the Institute for Research in Art, which includes the Contemporary Art Museum and Graphicstudio. All are involved in creative research and each educates, challenges and inspires students for leadership in the arts.
