Arts Village
The Arts Village stimulates creativity through attendance and engagement in the arts across campus and throughout the community.
Located in Turlington Residence Hall, the Arts Village unites students from
various personal and academic backgrounds who have a passion for the arts and exposes them to theater, visual arts & crafts,
music and dance. This is an opportunity to provide residents with significant and exciting opportunities to develop their creativity,
engage with the arts on campus and in the community, interact with NC State faculty and staff, and serve as a creative resource
for the campus community as a whole. Students fulfill four 1-credit classes through their attendance and involvement in the
Arts Forum.
