The Arts at Stanford

Stanford Arts is a constellation of institutions, departments, programs, and people that aims to unleash the full potential of the arts on campus and in our communities. Through this active network, we leverage the distinctive strengths of one of the world’s leading research universities to provide meaningful arts experiences, integrate scholarship and making across disciplines, and apply the transformative power of art to the public good. 

 The division of the Vice Presidency for the Arts (VPA) was created in 2017 to raise the visibility and collective impact of the arts on campus. Three iconic arts organizations – Anderson Collection at Stanford University, Cantor Arts Center, and Stanford Live – offer exhibitions, performances, and programs to a broad audience drawn from the Stanford community as well as the greater San Francisco Bay Area. Two impactful interdisciplinary institutes – Institute for Diversity in the Arts and the Stanford Arts Institute – are centers of student-focused learning, research, and practice. The central VPA office creates pathways for arts engagement and impact through advocacy, coordination, ecosystem support, and interdisciplinary initiatives.

The School of Humanities and Sciences (H&S) is the center of a liberal arts education at Stanford and houses the academic arts departments: Art & Art History, Music, and Theater & Performance Studies as well as a Creative Writing program. The University’s Public Art Committee ensures that Stanford’s robust public art program continues to grow and thoughtfully integrate across the campus landscape, in the Arts District and beyond. There are also dozens of exhibition and performance spaces on campus used by more than 100 student art groups. The proximity and density of these arts programs and activities allows for dynamic interactions among them.

Across these programs and more, we cultivate the creative spark and cutting-edge work of interdisciplinary practitioners to demonstrate Stanford’s distinct “arts plus…” environment. Theater-makers plus astrophysicists. Sculptors plus infectious disease researchers. Together, we pursue ambitious ideas and collaborative projects to shift culture and policy, and demonstrate the consequential creativity possible only at Stanford.
