As part of the School of Dance’s HomeSchool platform, The Big Share: WILD CONSTELLATIONS is organized as a large scale virtual exhibition that unfolds over the course of a week beginning May 4. As the internet becomes a vital nexus for communication and exchange, this virtual sharing invites us to think imaginatively and wildly about how we explore and practice ways of being in dance, and ways of being part of the world. Discussions, radio shows, rehearsals, process archives and performances in various arrangements and across multiple digital platforms will offer a multitude of encounters with student, faculty and guest artists' works.
Each year, graduating performers from the Ira Brind School of Theater Arts have the opportunity to showcase their work for an audience of casting agents and theater professionals in Los Angeles, New York and Philadelphia.

They’ve posted excerpts here from their work-in-progress theses along with earlier, completed pieces. The work of our Film majors covers a variety of genres— experimental, narrative, and documentary — and often embraces hybrid forms that challenge traditional boundaries.
View selected works by the UArts Fine Arts senior class in their thesis show, “Soft Boiled.” This site is not in lieu of an exhibition, but rather a virtual effort to represent ourselves as a community of emerging artists in a rapidly evolving world.
The 2020 Game Art Senior Thesis Exhibit features five individual projects in game design and visual development. Each represents a year-long research project into world-building, narrative structures of interactive experience, and a visual design optimized for the technical specifications of the target platform and user experience.
This year’s online exhibit showcases senior student work from our five programs: Graphic Design, Illustration, Industrial Design, MDes Product Design and MFA Museum Exhibition Planning & Design. With the support, expert knowledge and instruction provided by exceptional faculty and staff, UArts Design students create work that distinguishes them as artists and designers of the highest caliber. This exhibition marks not the end of our students’ academic years, but the beginning of their professional careers.

Underground Pool, the student literary magazine of University of the Arts, is published each spring by the Creative Writing program. Each issue features short fiction, poetry and artwork by undergraduates from all majors at UArts. Students in Creative Writing and Graphic Design serve as each year's co-editors and designer, and submissions are read and reviewed by students in the Creative Writing major. Each magazine's theme is chosen based on the particular concerns, questions and preoccupations raised in that year's issue, which are described in the annual Letter from the Editors and reflected in the cover design.
