Spotlight on the Arts 2013

The UGA Spotlight on the Arts festival returns this fall for another week of events and performances to highlight the arts on campus:

The University of Georgia will spotlight its arts programs and venues during a nine-day festival in November that includes concerts, theater and dance performances, art exhibitions, poetry readings, film festivals, discussions on the arts and creativity

...

The festival will kick off on Nov. 7 with several evening events including a University Theatre production of "Pride and Prejudice" at the Fine Arts Theatre, a Senior Dance Concert showcasing student choreography at the New Dance Theatre, and Student Night at the Georgia Museum of Art.

Though these events are set to attract a broad audience from the Athens community and surrounding areas, our students are the real focus of this effort. What they do on campus in terms of participating in the arts is significant to their collegiate experience but more importantly to their afterlife as thoughtful, engaged citizens. It is our responsibility to help them understand the role that the arts play in a life well-lived, and the Spotlight festival is a valuable initiative designed to do just that.
