About
Stanford Arts
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 universities to provide meaningful arts experiences, integrate scholarship and making across disciplines, and apply the transformative power of art to the public good. We build on Stanford’s significant investment in the arts to create pathways for arts engagement and impact for students, faculty, staff, alums, and community.
Together, we demonstrate the consequential creativity possible only at Stanford.
Stanford Arts is organized by the Office of the Vice President for the Arts.
Our network includes:
Vice President for the Arts (VPA)
School of Humanities & Sciences (H&S)
Vice Provost for Undergraduate Education (VPUE)
Vice Provost for Student Affairs (VPSA)
Plus an incredible range of collections and resources:
Stanford sits on the ancestral land of the Muwekma Ohlone Tribe. This land was and continues to be of great importance to the Ohlone people. Consistent with our values of community and inclusion, we have a responsibility to acknowledge, honor, and make visible the University’s relationship to Native peoples.
This acknowledgment has been developed in collaboration with the Muwekma Ohlone Tribe. Learn more about Stanford’s relationships with native peoples.
Together, we demonstrate the consequential creativity possible only at Stanford.
