Art in all its forms pulses across U-M’s five campus ecosystem, circulating among hubs of concentrated activity while infusing the entire campus with wonder, joy, and possibility.

Envisioning a Campus Canvas for the Arts

From inspiring architecture and public sculpture to world-class concert venues, museums, teaching studios, galleries, and theaters, the five areas of the Ann Arbor campus are brought to life, day and night, with the energy, awe, and curiosity of the arts.

Ideas swirl and individuals connect with themselves and one another to appreciate a life made more meaningful and rewarding by the fascination created by color, pattern, sound and the inimitable personal insight of the artist. Rather than the domain of the few, art on the U-M campus is everywhere and for everyone, part of an environment that involves all of the human senses. The individual never walks across campus alone, but is connected to others through tradition and creative innovation.

Drawing from the U-M Arts Initiative and other campus initiatives, our integration of the arts will grow and evolve as an essential aspect of our identity.
