Student Groups and Classes Invited to Participate in Pop-Up Culture Activities on Campus

Each October organizations throughout the U.S. celebrate culture in America during National Arts & Humanities Month. Coordinated by Americans for the Arts, National Arts & Humanities Month grew out of National Arts Week, which the National Endowment for the Arts and Americans for the Arts started in 1985. The event became a month-long celebration in 1993.

This year, several University of Florida (UF) colleges and organizations have partnered to lead the celebration on campus. Throughout October the University of Florida (UF) College of the Arts, College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, Florida Museum of Natural History, Harn Museum of Art and UF Performing Arts will celebrate by encouraging students and members of the community to attend their events, which range from art exhibitions to theatre productions to photography workshops, and several leaders will author op-eds in The Gainesville Sun.

Also part of the festivities are moments of Pop-Up Culture that will occur at select locations throughout campus on Wednesday, October 15, 2014 from 8 a.m.-8 p.m. From singing to dancing to poetry readings, we need your help to increase awareness, appreciation and excitement for the arts and humanities at UF! Do you have an idea of a Pop-Up Culture moment that your organization or class could create?
