Ilove this image of the Quick Center. To me it feels like it is in motion, about to take off. It is so fitting, as WE are taking off. Fairfield University is moving at an incredible pace. We are gaining new national rankings, have our highest freshman intake in our history, and the campus is alive and pulsing with new buildings, programs, and an excited student and faculty body. In the landscape of the arts, the College of Arts & Sciences is launching The Arts Institute, to be directed by Kathy Schwab, PhD, and our own Dr. Philip Eliasoph has been named as Special Assistant to the President for Arts and Culture. Watch this space as we are taking off.

This season we invite you to share in a world-class program of performances and Open VISIONS Forum events that highlight our national presence as a beacon for the performing arts in our community. The season holds us true to our mission of radical hospitality and inclusive excellence as we provide a space for the exploration of remarkable and inspiring performing arts opportunities for the Fairfield University community at-large.

Great art should change the way you see and think about the world. This season, we invite you to come curious and hungry to share in great art, as we present to you some of the best artists working in their respective fields today. Our programs this year highlight work from around the world, across the disciplines of dance, performance, world music, jazz, classical and circus. Our Open VISIONS Forum is a powerhouse of speakers highlighting topical conversations on racial, social, and economic justice. And yes folks, we have kept our pricing accessible and unmatched with Members able to enjoy tickets to most performances for $25.

President Mark R. Nemec, PhD often refers to our mission to “educate children of God as individuals of purpose in service of the greater good and stewards of a hope-filled future.” It is purpose and the greater good which excites me as director of the Quick. When Lori and I program, we program with purpose, and look to bring incredible performances that honor this mission. We present work that pursues excellence in all things, and through our engagement as audiences we are asked to be stewards of hope and dignity for all.

We invite YOU, our community, to engage with us, enter into conversations with us, journey with us, and even co-create the artistic experience with purpose and stewardship for the greater good.

And of course, have loads of fun, clap, laugh, cry, and holler – as art is amazing, lifechanging, and beautiful.

Sincerely,

Peter Van Heerden Executive Director
