The mission of the Meredith Center for Women in the Arts is to provide a means for Meredith and the greater community to interact while examining important issues through the arts. The Center is comprised of the Departments of Art, Dance, Theatre and Music, as well as interested faculty, staff and students from other disciplines.
The Center for Women in the Arts unites faculty, students, campus and community for learning, teaching, research, creation and performance. By providing a venue dedicated to artistic excellence and intellectual rigor, the Center is a public service to Meredith and the greater community. All events sponsored by the Center for Women in the Arts are open to the general public; most are free of charge.
The Center regularly brings noted creative professionals to campus. Campus residencies are designed to provide an intellectual spark through original thought and performance. Direct interaction and involvement of students is a critical goal for the Center.
The presence of the Center for Women in the Arts helps contribute to a campus environment that actively supports the pursuit of a career in visual art, dance, theatre, or music. Excellent campus facilities are extended by the close proximity of the North Carolina Museum of Art, North Carolina Symphony and a host of professional dance and theatre and music companies, art galleries and design firms. Internship opportunities abound, offering students applied experience in their chosen discipline as well as valuable contacts.
