For Graduate Students
From ensembles to co-curricular courses, and from GSAS organizations to student discounts, there are many ways for graduate students to get involved with art on campus.
The OFA invites graduate students to connect with the arts! Several performing ensembles as well as courses and workshops are open to the wider campus community. In addition, graduate students are invited to apply to perform and exhibit artwork during Arts Fest, one of the largest collegiate arts festivals in the country. To stay informed of arts opportunities, including over 800 events presented by the OFA each year, sign up for our newsletter below. And while not administered by the OFA, don’t forget about the GSAS Student Center arts activities and Outings and Innings, which provides graduate students with discounted tickets for cultural activities among other events.

Take a Course
Graduate Students are welcome to participate in non-credit courses and workshops presented by the OFA Ceramics and Dance Programs. Both programs offer a full range of rigorous courses exploring a variety of techniques for students of all levels of experience, including beginners.
