UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN
Spaces & Places
With hundreds of art installations situated in public spaces across Ann Arbor, the University of Michigan’s public art collection offers a wealth of exploration opportunities. The collection includes both permanently installed and temporary artworks that span across a range of media.
Over time, buildings and landscapes change across campus, but public art endures, shaping our experience, cultivating memories, and expressing a university’s values and history for generations to come.

Authentic tickets to events held at one of our venues are most often sold by one of two authorized sellers: The UMS/SMTD Ticket Office for UMS, SMTD, and Ann Arbor Summer Festival performances, and the Michigan Union Ticket Office (MUTO) for all other performances. Authorized exceptions include community groups like Ann Arbor Civic Theatre, who sell their own tickets, and occasionally Eventbrite or Jotform.
Look carefully at the URL before purchasing, as we’ve seen an increase in activity by ticket resellers, including (but not limited to): thehillauditorium.com (which is not affiliated with Hill Auditorium in any way), Craigslist, eBay, StubHub, and other secondary market or ticket broker services.
