Arts institutions & programs

Become immersed and inspired

We create and perform the same way we test and interpret—with an intellectual passion that expands your thinking and leads to breakthrough work. Opportunities to lead a rich, creative life are everywhere—at the University, in the city of Chicago, and in our surrounding neighborhoods.

Growing community through arts

At UChicago, we see ourselves as a center for educating, inspiring, and supporting the artistic endeavors of our students and faculty, as well as those in our community. Learn more about how the Logan Center for the Arts became a 'beacon for the arts' on the South Side.
