About Arts Live

Arts Live @ BU provides a central portal to the broad range of artistic, cultural, and creative pursuits across BU’s campuses, opportunities to attend affordable off-campus cultural events, and ways for BU students, faculty, staff, alumni, parents, and visitors to interact with one another through the arts in the spirit of Boston University. Here you can find information about arts-related programs, with a spotlight on events featuring and produced by BU students, as well as what’s happening in the Greater Boston arts community.

Creative expression is an essential component of Boston University’s educational mission. Participation in the arts enhances students’ understanding not only of the curriculum but also about themselves and life on the path to becoming citizens of the world. The University supports students in their artistic pursuits, whether they choose to attend, perform in, or create performances, productions, or works. All members of the BU community are invited to use Arts Live – by looking up events or venues, by commenting on or reviewing Top Picks, or by listing upcoming BU events on the Arts Live calendar.

Arts Live @ BU is a University-wide initiative under the auspices of the Dean of Students. If you have any questions or question please feel free to email Arts Live.
