Many students are unable to experience the life-changing environment of CSU Summer Arts without the help of generous donations. Imagine studying with the best in the industry: Emmy Award winners, Tony Award winners, National Dance Awards winners, internationally acclaimed musicians, painters, and academics. Some of the top creatives in the arts gather at Summer Arts for four weeks every summer.

Thanks to these gifts, students work in a collaborative environment where nothing interferes with their creative practice. They can look at themselves in relation to their art. They are questioned about why they do what they do and what it means. By living in residence with other artisans, students are fully engaged in their discipline. There is nothing like CSU Summer Arts.
