2021 Art in the Open is Coming

The UB Center for the Arts is the hub of a bustling arts community where dancers, actors, filmmakers, musicians, and artists of every imaginable stripe come to work and perform. Each Fall, the UBCFA opens our studios, rehearsal spaces, and doors to bring this wealth of creativity out into the open. The work of artists from UB College of Arts and Sciences will be showcased, with performances and activities curated and produced by UB students, faculty and staff from the departments of Art, Arts Management, UB Art Galleries, Media Study, Music, Theatre and Dance and the Arts Collaboratory.

Attendees at this free event have the opportunity to listen to live music, view films, tour studio and lab spaces, view art galleries exhibitions and drop in on a theatre and dance open rehearsal. The event offers the opportunity for visitors to meet students and faculty to learn about UB’s rich offering of art programs and the creativity its departments bring to the campus and community.

Refreshments provided by Dapper Goose.

Presented by the Center for the Arts and Arts Collaboratory with support provided by the President’s Circle.
