Because of UConn and the School of Fine Arts, the Arts are Everywhere, and rightly so. As we find ourselves increasingly constrained by devices, the need for human creative expression has never been more vital. Your generosity supports our mission to provide exceptional arts education at a public university and ensures that our arts students transition smoothly into their careers. Please consider making a gift to one of the critical funds listed below or any of the 60+ scholarship and support funds that you can find in the drop-down menu.
Whether you have an affinity for one of the academic departments of Art & Art History, Digital Media & Design, Dramatic Arts (with Puppetry), and Music, or any one of our presenting venues of the Ballard Institute and Museum of Puppetry, Connecticut Repertory Theatre, the Jorgensen Center for the Performing Arts, von der Mehden Hall, the William Benton Museum of Art, or the Alexey von Schlippe Gallery of Art at the Avery Point Campus, we are grateful that you are part of our UConn School of Fine Arts family!
