THE ARTS AT UMBC
The visual arts are strongly represented by the imaginative and critically acclaimed exhibitions of the Albin O. Kuhn Library and Gallery, which often draw on its vast photography collection, and in the Fine Arts Gallery, one of the finest spaces in the region dedicated to contemporary art in all its forms. The University sponsors a full season of performances by the UMBC Symphony Orchestra and the renowned Maryland Camerata, UMBC's resident chamber choir. UMBC is also home for a variety of professional companies and ensembles that tour nationally, such as the Phoenix Dance Company, Doug Hamby Dance and The Maryland Stage Company. |
Research at UMBC takes place not only in the laboratory but also in the
concert hall, theatre, gallery and dance studio, where outstanding artists
and faculty in the visual and performing arts reinterpret the classics and
explore new modes of expression before audiences composed of colleagues,
students and the general public.
