Our Mission
…to provide opportunities for students, faculty, and staff to
engage in transformational arts interactions as part of an arts-
rich, robust educational community on the campus of San
Diego State University
Signature Events
…are the highest quality arts events
that SDSU has to offer. These events
are academically-informed and fully
produced to showcase SDSU’s broad
range of artistic talent.
Supported Events
…are curriculum-based, public performances
and presentations from various academic arts
disciplines, faculty-guided student
organizations, as well as work created in
classes.
Pop Up Events
…are designed to develop audience awareness and attendance at Signature events
and increase attendance in courses for non-arts majors. Pop Ups bring the arts
outside of traditional venues to the center of student activity – whether at the
library, the student union, or the farmer’s market.
Our Goals
…broaden awareness of arts events
and opportunities at SDSU
…increase attendance at
SDSU arts events
…expand academically informed
art-making opportunities at SDSU
…integrate arts events and arts
practices into curriculum at SDSU
