WHY THE ARTS?
The arts get us thinking deeply, make us laugh, cause us to question the world as it is, help to build a diverse community, celebrate international awareness, beautify our world and nurture our spirits. These are but a few ways that the arts make our lives that much richer.
Free Arts Encounters:
For Pitt Oakland Undergraduate Students
Undergraduates have the unique opportunity to attend our Free Arts Encounters programs. PITT ARTS brings registered, full-time, Oakland campus undergraduate students to 85 Arts Encounters a year. This includes trips to the symphony, opera, ballet, films, concerts, galleries, and the theater. We provide transportation and tickets.
Also, there is always a socio-educational component that offers a context for the encounter, such as e-mailed essays, discussions with artists, or hands-on workshops.
Undergraduates need to opt in to receive our weekly Arts Newsletter to their Pitt email every Monday in which upcoming Arts Encounters are described in detail.

PITT ARTS Student Advisory Board
PITT ARTS seeks undergraduate Pitt students who wish to be on our Student Advisory Board to advise PITT ARTS with our Arts Encounters and other needs. Students should be familiar with PITT ARTS prior to applying. We hope to fill the Student Advisory Board this summer and begin the full process in the fall of 2022.
