Support USM’s Great University Campaign
Designed to integrate the visual and performing arts, the new Center for the Arts will become a beacon of sight and sound for our students and an arts resource for the entire community. Located on our Portland campus, the Center will include state-of-the-art spaces for the arts in every form, from music, dance, and theater to visual arts and interdisciplinary exhibitions and performances.
Prominently located at the heart of the academic quad on the Portland campus, the Center for the Arts facility will match the exceptional caliber of USM’s Osher School of Music, a signature program of excellence at USM, while opening new opportunities for visual arts integration and community collaboration.
