Events and Exhibitions

There’s always something amazing to see at the UBCFA. We host some of the world’s biggest music, theatrical and comedy acts. But some of our most amazing performances are put on by the students and faculty right here at UB. Concerts of every variety, plays, musicals, exhibitions, and dance performances - they’re all open to the UB student body and the Western New York community. No matter what you’re into, there’s something on our calendar that’s perfect for you.
