College of Visual and Performing Arts

Today, you can help the College of Visual and Performing Arts transform the lives of students studying music, art, design, theatre and dance. Your gift can also provide support to the NIU Art Museum or the Community School of the Arts.

Through Huskies United, day of giving, our donors are helping us Unleash Artistry. Together, we will enhance the artistic mission of the university through performances and exhibitions that play an essential role in campus life and the cultural engagement of the community. Throughout the challenging times we currently face, our artists never stopped creating. Their work helps us to understand and process our own emotions and reminds us how important our support for the arts is.
