FINE ARTS

USF serves a thriving, diverse community of talented students. We promote a lifelong relationship with the arts that enhances, challenges, and inspires both the individual and the community. A gift to FINE ARTS helps these programs offer dozens of performances, presentations, and exhibitions each year featuring the talents of our students and faculty, special guest lecturers, professional performers, and visual artists all aimed to develop Christian artists and prepare them for their careers.

Impact the arts!
There are countless ways in which you can support USF Fine Arts and further your impact on the lives of our talented students. Your gift is critical to the sustained success of each and every one of our Fine Arts programs.
