Here in SOTA, we understand that an education in the arts is expansive -- giving students the most vital essential skills needed for success in the arts, success in a broad range of career paths, and success in life. Creativity, Collaboration, Communication, and Critical Thinking are skills acquired and reinforced at every level in every discipline in the arts. Building on that foundation are Confidence and Courage as you step onto the stage or onto the gallery walls with your vision of the world. Finally, Connection flows through everything we do – engaging in the arts connects us to ideas, different perspectives, ourselves, and one another. I hope to connect with you on a program visit, see you in the audience of our amazing productions, exhibitions, and concerts, and welcome you on campus soon!
