Theater and visual arts facilities

Theater production at UISWHAT COMES NEXT

We have wonderful arts programs that are growing bigger and better each year, but students need a place--a home--for these programs.

We hope to renovate our Visual/Performing Arts building and add a wing, with the following results:

Visual Arts will have two new galleries for student and visiting exhibits, a modern photography lab and a video production facility;

Our Theater Program will have new Green Room space, an Acting/Movement space, and a better large practice area.

Our Music Programs will also benefit with

  • UIS Choirlarger group practice,
  • a piano teaching lab,
  • soundproofed practice rooms,
  • a music computer lab, and
  • better acoustics throughout, plus
  • a named professorship.

If you are interested in leaving a lasting legacy for the arts at UIS, please contact our office at 217.206.6058. One of our gift officers would be happy to meet with you to discuss our plans for these vital facilities.
