Center for Visual and Performing Arts
Tina Yapelli, chair
The Center for the Visual and Performing Arts serves as a focal point for the
arts on campus and in the San Diego region. The Center's primary activities
involve enhancing, coordinating, and publicizing the College's visual and
performing arts programs, forming alliances and partnerships with San Diego arts
agencies, and initiating new programs to expand the impact of the arts on the
campus and in the community.
The Center promotes the integration of the arts on campus through curriculum
initiatives by designing collaborative courses that integrate the arts into other
discipline areas. The Center enhances art on campus through the "Masters
of the Living Arts Program," which brings internationally known artists
to perform and exhibit, to conduct master classes and workshops, and to present
lectures for students, faculty, and the San Diego arts community. The Center
promotes the arts throughout the community by initiating outreach programs from
the campus in the visual and performing arts. The Center also serves the campus
and the San Diego artistic community by exploring important issues and themes
relative to the arts through educational opportunities, public forums, research,
and multidisciplinary and multi-cultural exhibits and performances.
