Visual and Performing Arts

When so much about how we work and connect is changing, DU’s visual and performing arts programs give students room to practice the most human skills there are. They nurture creativity, critical thinking, communication, and adaptability while building intellectual curiosity and a deeper understanding of one another.

Support Art by giving students the rare chance to experience the artworks, monuments, and cultural sites they study, up close and in context. These travel experiences shape where students go next, in their studies and in their careers.

Support Film and help build the next generation of storytellers and industry leaders through access, mentorship, and real-world festival immersion.

Support Music by bringing renowned guest artists to campus, creating transformative performance opportunities, and giving students the resources they need to thrive as artists, educators, and leaders.

Support Theatre by giving students expansive pre-professional training in acting, design, directing, and technical theatre, side by side with professional artists. These experiences deepen their learning, build valuable industry connections, and open pathways to internships and careers after graduation.
