Enjoy 18 Days of Great Arts Experiences!
February 18 - March 7The third annual Tech Arts Festival celebrates the creative spirit with a host of performances, events and exhibitions by Georgia Tech students, faculty, and guest artists. The Tech Arts Festival includes works that showcase the convergence of art and technology, and also works that are solely artistic in nature - music, dance, theatre, digital, literary, and visual arts.
Madison Cario, director of the Office of the Arts, encourages everyone on campus to check out at least one event. "Find something fun, thought-provoking, or brand new and go! It's easy with so many free events happening both during the day and at night."
