Where inspiration strikes
The mission of the Kreft Arts at Concordia University Ann Arbor is to inspire the artistic, intellectual, and creative experiences of our students and the local community.
Our events include art exhibitions, concerts, lectures, dance performances, book discussions, and theatrical performances by artists from around the world and from Concordia’s own student body and faculty. These experiences are embedded in our Concordia University curriculum to further support students as they develop in mind, body and spirit.
