About Us

In alignment with the university’s commitment to student and community engagement, UNCW’s Office of the Arts provides inspirational and cultural programming for the campus community and the surrounding region.

Arts partnerships and programs at UNCW enhance creative inquiry, critical thinking and thoughtful expression, and embrace UNCW’s values of excellence and inclusion.

The Office of the Arts curates the Kenan Auditorium Presents series, manages Kenan Auditorium, and advocates for the arts on UNCW's campus and in the Wilmington community, in collaboration with the five academic arts departments and community partners. The office also participates in the cultural life of the region as a member of the NC Presenters Consortium and Arts North Carolina.
