End-of-Year Events

Check out end-of-year arts events, celebrations, and performances from students across the arts district and beyond.

May and June bring the end of the academic year, and with it the culmination of a year's work—or sometimes four years' work for graduating seniors. Come and celebrate with concerts, showcases, thesis performances, research presentations, awards ceremonies and more. Join students, faculty and staff from across the Arts District for this flowering of festivities!
