Visual and Performing Arts

Our visual and performing arts program at UT Dallas provides students with a dynamic and interdisciplinary education that bridges traditional arts with innovation. Whether students are studying art history, engaging in a hands-on visual art studio practice, performing in a music ensemble or theatre production, or exploring the intersection of different creative disciplines, students are equipped to become exceptional creators, performers and scholars.

Support for our visual and performing arts programs ensures that students have access to the resources and experiences necessary to develop their artistic talents and pursue careers that shape the future of the arts.
