Gather and Connect

CFA Terriers are always welcome back on Comm Ave! The buildings may look a little different, but the spirit remains in the studios, practice spaces, and stages of CFA. In-person and virtual events throughout the year bring alumni, friends, and families together.

CFA Magazine

CFA magazine is a publication for alumni and friends of the Boston University College of Fine Arts, who are making art and making an impact all around the world. Discover the amazing stories of CFA's dynamic alumni and faculty as well as the innovation happening right here on BU's campus.
