College of Fine Arts and Communication
The newly-created College of Fine Arts and Communication at the University of Missouri-St. Louis includes the Departments of Art and Art History, Communication, Music, and Theatre and Dance. Our faculty and alumni have distinguished themselves as scholars, visual artists, teachers, and performers Students of the College pursue their activities in a variety of campus locations. The University's new, $55 million Performing Arts Center will open in the fall of 2003, affording two spectacular venues for performances by individual university students and faculty, campus ensembles, and visiting artists. In addition, Gallery 210, Gallery FAB, and Gallery VISIO in the Millennium Student Center offer space for the display of student and faculty art work, as well as visiting exhibitions.
The College of Fine Arts and Communication is distinguished by its collaboration with the community. Three endowed professorships link the University to the Saint Louis Symphony, the Saint Louis Art Museum, Opera Theatre of Saint Louis, the Laumeier Sculpture Park, and other local cultural institutions, through the Des Lee Arts Education Collaborative. The St. Louis metropolitan area is noted for the quality, quantity, and diversity of its restaurants, athletic teams, cultural attractions, and entertainment venues. The campus is connected with downtown St. Louis by two on-campus stops on the MetroLink, a light rail system on which students ride at no charge with their student I.D. All in all, the advantages of a metropolitan campus are significant.
