Student Arts Org Summit
Register today for this year’s Student Arts Org Summit on February 2, 2026!
The Arts Initiative and the Center for Campus Involvement host an annual Student Arts Org Summit, a large gathering of student arts org leaders to learn about resources, connect with peers, enjoy some food, and earn money for their organizations. The University has an incredible 250+ student organizations engaging in the arts, whose members come from all degree programs across the University and play a huge role in the Michigan arts ecosphere.
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.
