School of the Arts

The UVM School of the Arts is a welcoming community of students, faculty, and staff members in the areas of Art and Art History, Dance, Music, and Theatre, and affiliated programs in Film and Television Studies and Creative Writing, as well as the Fleming Museum and the Lane Series. The school is dedicated to creating a vibrant hub for learning, discovery, collaboration, inclusivity, innovation in creative practice, and above all to giving voices to future artists, historians and theoreticians of the arts, and arts educators.

The faculty train and mentor students to prepare for real world challenges as makers, cultural producers and consumers, and informed global citizens. They integrate a diversity of artistic practices and creative voices into the academic mission of the university through mobilization of resources, faculty and student support, collaborations with other disciplines, programs and academic units, and through partnerships and outreach to the UVM community and beyond.
