Artist Engagement Activities
Professional artists performing at the Green Music Center participate in residency activities such as lectures, demonstrations, workshops, and conversations with students, faculty, and staff across campus. These activities are designed to develop creative capacities, critical thinking skills, and encourage participants to investigate communal and personal values.

“It was incredible. I’ve learned so many things about how to be a better performer and human in general.”
