Creative Campus Tour

Thank you for your interest in the Creative Campus Tour. This program is on hiatus until further notice.

We look forward to being able to showcase the arts on campus with you at another time.

You will learn about the various arts areas available for study as we visit the spaces where students create and perform. Additionally, prospective and admitted students will visit the creative arts learning community in Ogg Hall, also known as The Studio. This energetic and highly entertaining walking tour led by a student tour guide will show you how you can be part of the arts at UW–Madison story.
