Our interdisciplinary approach to the arts at Berkeley places our programs at the center of critical inquiry and artistic practice. Together, our students and faculty generate new ideas and drive groundbreaking work across disciplines that enable us to imagine a future we never thought possible.
Our Fundraising Priorities
"At Berkeley, we have the most extraordinary research university and you have practicing artists studying within this limitless context. Students are working with faculty artists and practitioners who are internationally renowned, showing at museums and performing globally, while also teaching and offering critiques in classrooms. There is no greater place for the arts than at Berkeley." — Sara Guyer, Jean and Irving Stone Dean of the Division of Arts & Humanities
