CSU Summer Arts - Pure Imagination

‘Pure imagination’ aptly sums up the California State University Summer Arts experience through the lens of any student yearning for something more and willing to embrace the kaleidoscope of human senses, a pre-requisite for this multi-disciplinary array of arts courses offered through CSU Summer Arts. This year, the program celebrates its 13th year on the Fresno campus.

Master classes are offered in the visual arts, music, dance, theatre, creative writing and new media, and include guest artists, public performances and special events. Approximately 450 students will be accepted for enrollment, each earning 3 to 6 units of undergraduate or graduate credit. CSU Summer Arts alumni describe the experience as ‘life-changing’ and ‘transformational.’

Since its inception, Summer Arts has successfully assembled an impressive cast of instructors/guest artists who devote themselves exclusively to empowering students to live their passion while immersed in summer courses. Each course, regardless of content, culminates in a dazzling public performance venue that showcases the diverse talents and teachings of both students and faculty.

By day, the campus is an intense learning community encouraging students of all ages to explore and experiment with their craft. By nightfall, the Valley’s starlit summer sky becomes an eloquent backdrop for impromptu gatherings of newfound friends and colleagues sharing their artistic dreams.

Whether you are in the mood for contemporary painting, composing music, storytelling through animation, performing Shakespeare or writing memoirs, CSU Summer Arts promises to deliver.
