At Hopkins, the arts are valued as integral to the development of an educated person, for they lift us out of ingrained habits and open our minds to exciting possibilities. The arts program at Hopkins emphasizes experiential learning, taking risks, critique sessions, revision, and creative problem solving. Finally, students have the opportunity to share their art with the community through quality presentations.
A full slate of campus arts events – gallery exhibitions of work by professional artists, students and faculty, concerts by professional singers and musicians, Orchestra and Jazz/rock Ensemble concerts, Concert Choir programs, musical and dramatic theater productions, as well as performances by student-run a cappella and improv groups and an annual battle of the bands - fosters the feeling that art is for everyone.
