LU Arts

We are the University's extra-curricular arts programme, giving you lots of opportunities to enjoy the arts and get creative during your time here. Our vibrant programme of activities and events are open to all students - no matter what you are studying or what your ability level is.

Our events are the perfect way to destress, learn new skills, meet new people, gain valuable experience and have fun. There are also opportunities to develop any existing talents you may have.

We support a wide range of art forms including creative writing, music, dance, drama and all forms of visual arts. Our events programme features live performances, arts workshops, artist talks, screenings, exhibitions, competitions and more. Many of these events are free or heavily subsidised.
