Leonard Bernstein Festival of the Creative Arts
Celebrate the enduring spirit of creativity at The Leonard Bernstein Festival of the Creative Arts—Brandeis University’s annual campus-wide celebration of the arts. Founded in 1952 by legendary composer and conductor Leonard Bernstein to honor the university’s first graduating class, the festival showcases the vibrant artistic talents of Brandeis students, faculty, and staff, alongside renowned guest artists.
This year’s theme, Art Lives On, highlights the transformative power of the arts to inspire, connect, and endure. Presented by the Division of Creative Arts, the festival features performances, exhibitions, installations, and interactive events across campus.
The Leonard Bernstein Festival of the Creative Arts is made possible through the generous support of Elaine Reuben ’63, the Mass Cultural Council, and the Aaron Foundation Visiting Artist Fund for Theater, Music, and Fine Arts.
