Arts & Culture

An open invitation

The visual and performing arts enrich the lives of everyone in the Connecticut College community. Through art, music, dance and theater you'll discover opportunities to understand and celebrate the human condition. You'll also connect with surrounding communities through local arts organizations.

From its beginning in 1911, Connecticut College has placed an uncommon emphasis on the arts. Even today, the creative arts are one of our general education areas from which all students must complete a course. The arts have brought national and international acclaim to the school, inviting pioneering artists on campus and producing a large number of distinguished alumni in the arts, many of whom are leaders in their fields.
