  • Artist Jarrett Krosoczka – illustration and graphic design workshops

  • African Dance & Music Festival– Presented by the College of Music
  • 15th Annual Campus Songwriter Competition

The Fine Arts Series will continue to gather demographic data through card swiping, and we will continue to pass out surveys to audience members in order to measure our progress.  With the assessment data gathered in the 111th season, we will focus our efforts to increase attendance and awareness of the Fine Arts Series by:

  • Increased marketing efforts to students in arts related programs and schools
  • Strengthen efforts to reach out to students for programming suggestions
  • Reinforce the connection with faculty members as a means of targeting advertising to students
