Amazing Things

Happen.

Get creative all day,
every day.

Did you know that approximately 80% of your time as an MSU student is spent outside the classroom?

There’s always something to do in the arts on this campus, each as vibrant and diverse as our Spartan community. Whether you’re looking to check out live music or theater straight from Broadway, get hands-on with artmaking, or connect with new friends, you can find something here that sparks your creativity every day.
