Arts MSU

Arts MSU

The arts are essential to vibrant, thriving communities—MSU included.

Michigan State University has designed a campus-wide arts strategy with the aim of integrating the arts into our educational experiences, our research activities, our outreach, and our university culture. Guided by the belief that the arts are essential to a vibrant university community that is resilient, inclusive, collaborative, and globally minded, this strategy is committed to advancing the impact and amplifying the presence of the arts across campus.

This strategic approach to the arts was shaped by a collaborative process in 2019 and implemented in alignment with the MSU 2030 strategic plan in 2021. In 2023, an identity for Arts MSU came to life.
