海角社区

Friends of the Arts

The Friends of the Arts bring awareness to the College of Fine Arts and Communication at 海角社区 and raise funds for scholarships and educational enhancements within the college. Through this support, students have access to visiting artists and scholars and gain hands-on clinical experience.

In addition, faculty members are afforded the ability to enrich their careers through academic and artistic workshops and research.

Le Grand Bal

The Friends of the Arts major annual fundraiser is Le Grand Bal. The Friends of the Arts organized in 1973 and staged its first Grand Bal in 1975.

To learn more about becoming a member of Friends of the Arts, or for information about participating in Le Grand Bal, contact the College of Fine Arts and Communication at (409) 880-8137.
