The Monttessuy Center for the Arts

In response to rising enrollments in the arts from both majors and non-majors alike, 91³Ô¹ÏÍøhas renovated our former library building to create a new center for the arts, which now includes two fine arts studios, expanded and improved classrooms, student exhibition spaces and the Olivia de Havilland Theater. The center prepares tomorrow’s leaders in creative and performing arts, business and interdisciplinary fields.

The Cultural Program is a hallmark of AUP’s unique approach to a global liberal arts education. Through study trips and cultural excursions to inspiring destinations, the Cultural Program takes learning beyond the classroom, encouraging global explorers to become lifelong learners. Your gift to the Coup de Pouce fund allows us to provide funding to students who would otherwise be unable to participate in these life-changing opportunities.
