Art in the Open
The University at Buffalo Center for the Arts (UBCFA) is the hub of a bustling arts community where dancers, actors, filmmakers, musicians, and artists of every stripe come to create and perform. Each fall, we open our doors to bring this wealth of creativity out into the open and reveal the work flourishing within the UBCFA.
Art in the Open is a chance for guests to meet university artists and go behind the scenes to get a glimpse of the art being made at UB. We invite guests to enjoy our atrium music and dance performances, view films and installations, explore our studios, performance, and art-making spaces, see art gallery exhibitions, and drop in on rehearsals to experience works in process.
Activities are 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 Center for the Arts.
This event is FREE and open to University at Buffalo students, faculty, staff and the public.
Enjoy FREE Refreshments as you mingle with fellow art enthusiasts, creators, and performers (while supplies last).
