We would also like to recognize the many artists within our community that have contributed to our experiential programming in colloquium and during Arts Field Trips.  Your knowledge and energy have inspired us, energized us, and helped us connect as a community of artists and scholars. 
 

The Arts Scholars program and Arts Fest 2026 has been made possible through the support of the College of Arts and Humanities, Undergraduate Studies, and College Park Scholars.

COMMUNITY ARTIST PARTNERSHIPS

In Arts Scholars students expand their definitions of art, learn professional practices of creative fields, and explore the  role of the arts in our personal and social lives all while building a community based on challenge and support.  Central to these learning objectives are our partnerships with artists and makers at UMD and in the surrounding community.   A huge thank you to all the organizations and individuals that have supported our colloquia, field trips, and co-curricular activities this year!
