Words of Wisdom

"The function of the university in respect to the arts should not be limited to promoting understanding and appreciation. It should strive to awaken the creative instinct, to encourage its exercise and development and to stimulate action."

— Justice Louis D. Brandeis

an arts awakening

The arts at Brandeis are dedicated to the awakening of the mind, body and spirit.

The Brandeis School of Creative Arts is home to a distinguished array of degree programs and an award-winning faculty in fine arts, music and theater arts. Each year more than 350 professional and student arts events occur on our campus, culminating in the annual Leonard Bernstein Festival of the Creative Arts.

Join us as we experience art as transformation: from vision to action, from artist to audience, from generation to generation — across time, boundaries and culture.
