Arts Alive Presentation FINAL

Our Mission…to provide opportunities for students, faculty, and staff to engage in transformational arts interactions as part of an arts-rich, robust educational community on the campus of San Diego State University

Signature Events

…are the highest quality arts events that SDSU has to offer. These events are academically-informed and fully produced to showcase SDSU’s broad range of artistic talent.

Supported Events

…are curriculum-based, public performances and presentations from various academic arts disciplines, faculty-guided student organizations, as well as work created in classes.

Pop Up Events

…are designed to develop audience awareness and attendance at Signature events and increase attendance in courses for non-arts majors. Pop Ups bring the arts outside of traditional venues to the center of student activity – whether at the library, the student union, or the farmer’s market.
