The Office of Cultural & Special Events
at UNC Asheville
works to extend
classroom learning by providing a wide array of diverse programs
that enrich, educate and
entertain our students, campus
community and the community-at-large. Our presentations feature
world-class, professional performing artists and major speakers.
The Office of Cultural Events presents 5 to 9 major touring performing artists between September and April and 5 to 7 summer outdoor concerts featuring mainly NC artists each June and July.
We also support many other campus arts performances and presentations throughout the year and often collaborate with other area arts venues and presenters.
Our programs are designed to
complement the liberal arts course of study for our undergraduate
students by providing arts experiences they may not see anywhere
else
in Asheville.
Nearly all our offerings
will have campus and/or community lecture/demonstrations,
pre-
or post-performance discussions, workshops and open rehearsals.
These are extra chances to meet these influential artists and
speakers up close and personal and learn more about how and why
they do what
they do.
