Visiting Artists Bring Art to Life

Performances On And Off Campus

In addition to the many annual in-house department concerts, plays, musical, coffee houses and other informal performances, the Flickinger auditorium main stage plays host to a full slate of professional performers entertaining audiences of the KUA and local community members. These range from dance to Indie Rock, classical, and everything in between. Artists in residence often join the Kimball Union arts community for extended stays that enrich the lives of students and faculty alike.

The vibrant artistic community of the Upper Valley and nearby Dartmouth College supplement all programs at Kimball Union and offer the opportunity to enjoy performances off campus. Weekly trips to world class performances at the Hopkins Center For The Arts are open to all students.

The Taylor Gallery

This well-lit and versatile space is in the Flickinger Arts Center, just off the main lobby. The Gallery is home for student art shows and also serves as the exhibit space for artists from outside the school community. All shows are open to the public free of charge and are preceded by an official Opening. Shows present a variety of media, from pottery, photography and painting, to printmaking and collage. Openings highlight local and not-so-local artists, sometimes featuring alumni, faculty, and former faculty, and are often scheduled to coincide with student or guest performances in the theater.
