The Arts at Ursinus

Create and Perform with Us.

Arts Magazine Cover Spring 2022 There are so many ways for students to truly live the arts on campus, such as performing in dance or music concerts, participating—either on stage or behind the scenes—in theatrical productions, showcasing their writing in our literary magazine, or displaying their art in the Annual Student Exhibition.

Each year, Ursinus bolsters its commitment to the arts by awarding scholarships to standout applicants who excel in the areas of creative writing, dance, music, and theater.
