UArts Celebrates 140 Years of Making
The fall of 2016 is an exciting time for the University of the Arts, as it marks the launch of the University's 140th Anniversary Celebration, "The Maker's Moment." This yearlong series of events will honor our impressive past and begin moving forward with President David Yager's ambitious vision for the institution's future. Since 1876, UArts faculty, students and alumni have made an impact as creative leaders in the visual and performing arts, and in a wide range of other fields, across the country and around the globe. uarts.edu/140 >>
