California State University presents CSU Summer Arts, a multidisciplinary system-wide program offering academic credit plus a festival in the visual, performing, and literary arts.

The academic component offers two-week residency courses for undergraduates, graduates, and professionals in creative writing, dance, music, film, video, theatre, performance, visual arts, design, arts education, and new technology.

CSU Summer Arts is currently hosted by CSU Fresno.

Summer Arts is Students

As part of CSU Summer Arts, local and international students study with guest artists in intensive workshops and masterclasses in theatre, music, dance, visual arts, writing, filmmaking and videography, new technologies, and arts education.

Summer Arts is a life-altering experience for students, allowing them to delve deeper into their artistic process than ever before. Student participants leave Summer Arts with renewed vigor for their art and excitement about sharing that spirit with their communities.

Summer Arts is Community

The Summer Arts festival highlights world renowned guest artists with performances, exhibits, and lectures on a CSU campus and throughout the community.

Summer Arts students take their workshops out of the classroom and into the community, working with local elementary schools and other community groups to share the excitement of the arts.
