Exploring the arts We’ve got your ticket to arts and culture

Our campus is buzzing with theatre, visual arts, music and cultural events. On top of that, the De Pere and Green Bay areas offer an assortment of exhibits, festivals and live performances.

Theatre

We love our show tunes: the Knights on Broadway cabaret ensemble auditions are highly competitive and the Knight Theatre annual musical always sells out. Anyone, regardless of major, can get involved in the spotlight or behind the scenes. We have two theatres on campus — the intimate in-the-round Webb and the 725-seat Walter — in the Abbot Pennings Hall of Fine Arts, which also offer rehearsal space and practice rooms. See what shows are coming up.

Visual arts

Our Bush Art Center Galleries inspire visitors through rotating exhibitions. See original works by student artists, professional designers, photographers and visual artists, and enjoy the work of noted masters.

Music

Music lovers can enjoy recitals by faculty or guest artists, which supplement an extensive schedule of vocal and instrumental student concerts. Or, join us for our free five-week Knights on the Fox summer concert series featuring a range of local musicians.

Cultural events

Plus, watch for celebrations and events featuring artistic and cultural elements hosted by The Holton Center and our diverse student organizations.
