Michigan Performing Arts College Fair

The Wayne State University College of Fine, Performing and Communication Arts, in partnership with the Michigan State University College of Music and  University of Michigan School of Music, Theatre & Dance (SMTD), will host the Michigan Performing Arts College Fair on Saturday, October 5, 2024 at U-M SMTD's E.V. Moore Building.

The event will begin at 12:00 PM with an Admissions Panel, during which admissions representatives from institutions across the nation will share insight and perspective on the performing arts admissions process. Following the panel, the event will transition into a College Fair from 1:00 to 3:00 PM, during which attendees will have the opportunity to speak with admissions representatives from the nation’s top colleges, universities, and conservatories to learn about their programs in all areas of the performing arts (see exhibitor list below).

This unique event is geared toward students who are interested in pursuing a degree in the performing arts, both at the undergraduate or graduate level. Students, parents, and teachers are all welcome to attend, though only students are asked to register ahead of time. Students can register now here.
