Arts Initiative
Columbia’s Arts Initiative aims to make arts and culture a meaningful part of every Columbian’s experience. It offers diverse programs to encourage students to experience the creative life of the campus, engage with the cultural riches of New York and the wider world, and create arts and performances of their own.
The Arts Initiative also provides students with discounted movie vouchers, free and discounted tickets to hundreds of events (including on- and off-Broadway performances) and free admission to more than 30 museums. Tickets can be purchased online or through the Ticket & Information Center (TIC), located on the first floor of Alfred Lerner Hall.
