Poised on the brink of a new era in arts education, the College community eagerly awaits the construction of a dedicated center for the arts and creativity, one of the major initiatives of the College’s Become More campaign. Publicly launched in 2016, the campaign is the most ambitious fundraising initiative in the history of Holy Cross, with the goal of raising $400 million by 2020. A main priority for the campaign is “Inspiring Creative Teaching and Learning.” A new arts facility is central to this vision.
The center for the arts and creativity will both enrich and elevate the arts at Holy Cross: It will attract the brightest artistic minds to Mount St. James to teach, perform and study. It will encourage increased participation in the arts among the community.
And it will facilitate the integration of the arts and creativity into the curriculum, fostering the experiential, interdisciplinary and collaborative learning necessary for the leaders of tomorrow.
