UNLEASH an ARTIST

Transform the lives of students studying the Arts at NIU.

 

Through your support of the Day of Giving, you are helping to unleash the next generation of artists studying at NIU. You are helping to train the next generation of music and art teachers, actors, musicians, dancers, designers, visual artists, art historians – and the list goes on.

 

By making a gift to support the priorities of the college, scholarships or a specific school/unit, you are partnering with the university to ensure success for our students and aid them on the path to graduation.

 

School/Unit SupportThe College of Visual and Performing Arts is comprised of three schools – Art and Design, Music and Theatre and Dance – as well as the NIU Art Museum and the Community School of the Arts. Your gift can be designated specifically to one of the schools or units to support their area of greatest need.
