Welcome to the College of the Arts fall 2023 performing and visual arts season. I am so proud of the collaborative efforts our faculty, staff, and students have undertaken to produce such a wide array of programming across four disciplines. It takes months, sometimes years, of work to create what you are about to enjoy – a commitment matched only by our collective passion for the arts.

Each year, the college presents a wide variety of programming that reflects our diverse perspectives. In Theatre, the season begins with a stage adaptation of the hauntingly emotional novel and film “Let the Right One In,” which reveals both the darkest impulses of humanity and our universal desire for connection. Acclaimed 1975 hit musical “A Chorus Line” gets a fresh update by Marty Austin Lamar and Courtney Ozovek that will immerse audiences in the audition process of a Broadway show. In the School of Music, the Fullerton Jazz Orchestra and University Symphony Orchestra perform together in the first ever “Fullerton Pops!” Also in November, Begovich Gallery explores the midcentury architecture and aesthetics of our original Visual Arts Complex in the exhibition “PAST FORWARD.”

While Begovich Gallery looks back at our historical beginnings, we continue to push toward the future as the Visual Arts Modernization Project (VA MOD) rapidly transforms the campus. Our complex’s two new buildings are fully framed, architectural details have been installed, and extensive interior renovations on two existing buildings are nearing completion. These changes bring years of dreaming and planning into sharp focus, but there is so much work yet to be done. From exterior paint to integrate our past and present buildings, to restoring the beloved “Water Wall” sculpture, to new software that will power the next generation of digital artists, there are many ways you can make a difference. Visit the VA MOD web page for more details (art.fullerton.edu/va-mod).

The ways in which our students will benefit from the modernization project are as limitless as their imaginations, and as assured as our commitment to their success. In the College of the Arts, we measure student achievement in creativity, artistic integrity, and dedication, not in data points or statistics. We know you support our students because they give to you through their artistry – it’s something you feel, something that moves you. By strengthening this powerful bond, you empower students to thrive by supporting their creative and academic success. If you share in the belief that the arts matter, please consider a donation of any amount to the Dean’s Fund for Excellence (arts.fullerton.edu/giving).

Whether this is your first theatre production or your twenty-first concert, know that you are an appreciated member of our Titan community. Thank you for joining us today and I look forward to seeing you again soon.

Sincerely,

Arnold Holland, Ed.D Dean, College of the Arts
