UMMA and The Arts Initiative kick off Welcome Week with an evening that highlights the many ways students can engage with the arts on campus. Explore interactive art-making, live music, dance performances, poetry, and more. Come to connect, create, and get inspired.

Artscapade is an annual welcome week tradition, bringing over a thousand students into the University of Michigan Museum of Art each year since 1999.
