The UCCS Department of Visual and Performing Arts is proud to present the Annual Student VAPA Festival: Always Almost Home! We invite you to celebrate our reemergence, growth, and community to enjoy four days of the featured art, performances, and showcases created by students in VAPA. This year, we commemorate the 21st Annual UCCS Student Short Film Festival, the 16th Annual Senior Visual Art Exhibition, UCCS Theatre & Dance’s production of The Drag, music recitals, art history presentations, and so much more. No matter what medium fits your fancy, we hope you will come to engage with the phenomenal works created by students and participate in the many festivities we offer!
