The Center for the Arts is where art is made and experienced at the University at Buffalo.
Pay us a visit, and you’ll find something always is happening at the UBCFA! We’re the university’s arts hub, where the Arts at UB converge and where students, faculty, artists, performers, and Western New Yorkers come together to find inspiration, education, and community.
We also welcome some of the biggest names in arts and entertainment - and host performances, exhibitions, and events, and showcase the remarkable talent of UB’s student artists. The entire Western New York community is always invited to join us.

Jon Batiste Performs at UBCFA
“This man took us to church, to outer space, to Claude Debussy's living room, to Keith Jarrett's practice space, to New Orleans and safely back to Buffalo, all by himself, in the space of 90 minutes. Mind-blowing." - Jeff Miers, Jeff Miers Music
Dance at UBCFA
Urban Bush Women Insire, educate on the Mainstage
"We function like a jazz ensemble and every company member is an individual instrument. The performances are mind-blowing, the way that the work is created. The dancers use our life experiences as a source of research, and so there's something about our authenticity and our truth that's present inside of the work." Chanon Judson, co-artistic director, UB Visiting Associate Professor
