Arts Quarter

Arts Quarter Exterior Much more than a performance venue, the Arts Quarter is a huge creative workshop where students can imagine and develop their ideas in diverse modern spaces designed to inspire creativity and innovation. Thirty percent of W&M students are involved in the arts, whether as a major, extracurricular or hobby.

Located on the edge of campus, the Arts Quarter serves as a front door to the arts for the local community and a welcoming venue for student and professional collaboration and engagement, hosting summer programs, workshops, arts festivals, regional and national performances and more.

The heart of this state-of-the-art complex features a modernized Phi Beta Kappa Memorial Hall, the new Music Arts Center and the recently expanded Muscarelle Museum of Art.
