Register for the 2026 Summit

Monday, February 2 from 6–8 p.m.

The Arts Initiative and the Center for Campus Involvement host an annual Student Arts Org Summit—a large gathering of student arts org leaders on Monday, February 2.

Join us to share your perspective, connect with peers, enjoy some food, earn money for your org, and help inform the future of U-M's arts community.

Smaller Gatherings

In addition to the Student Arts Org Summit, The Arts Initiative also hosts smaller gatherings of Student Arts Org leaders, often around a specific medium or arts practice. These gatherings cultivate interesting conversations about shared needs and help us learn about places the Arts Initiative could provide or advocate for additional support. They also generate ideas and facilitate new contacts between student org leaders themselves.
