BU Arts Initiative

What is the BU Arts Initiative?

Simply put, our goal is to make art part of every Terrier's time at BU.

Boston University Arts Initiative ensures that the arts are fundamental to the student experience by developing, supporting, and celebrating university-wide programs that advance community-building through the arts, encourage interdisciplinary arts teaching and research, and highlights diverse artists and forms of artistry.
