Event Description

This year, several University of Florida (UF) colleges and organizations have partnered to lead the celebration on campus. UF’s Center for the Humanities and the Public Sphere, College of the Arts, College of Liberal Arts & Sciences, Florida Museum of Natural History, Harn Museum of Art and UF Performing Arts will celebrate by encouraging students and members of the community to attend their various events, which range from art exhibitions to theatre productions to photography workshops.

“At UF, the arts are a pillar of our university, fundamental to our teaching and scholarship missions and our outreach to the community and state,” said Joe Glover, UF provost and senior vice president of academic affairs. “We couldn’t be more pleased to be a part of the celebration of National Arts & Humanities Month, and we welcome everyone to join us at the many events planned for the weeks ahead."

This year’s partners have also organized a special event, Pop-Up Culture, which will take place at select locations throughout UF on Wednesday, Oct. 15, 2014 between 8 am. and 8 p.m. From clay throwing to dancing and from painting to debating, student groups and classes will hold various moments of culture all aimed to increase awareness, appreciation and excitement for the arts and humanities at UF. Students and members of the community can experience Pop-Up Culture moments at the Plaza of the Americas, Fine Arts Complex and Southwest Recreation Center.
