USF College of The Arts - Arts Across Campus

Who We Are

As the creative center of the University of South Florida, the College of The Arts provides an enriched, creative and professional environment for tomorrow’s leaders in architecture, community design, art, art history, music, theatre and dance.

Steve Fessler and Randy Lord aren't just supporters; they're catalysts for change. Their tangible contributions, from mentorship to bringing professional artists to campus, speak volumes about their dedication to our cause. Fessler's active involvement on the USF Foundation Board of Directors ensures that our connections extend far beyond campus borders.

What We Do

Imagine a world where art is accessible to all, regardless of financial means. That's our reality at the USF College of The Arts. By offering free admission to all our performances and exhibits, we've broken down barriers and welcomed a diverse audience eager to experience the power of creativity. But we can't do it alone. Your support is essential in keeping our doors open to everyone who seeks inspiration and cultural enrichment.

For every dollar you give, Steve Fessler and Randy Lord will match it, doubling the impact of your generosity up to $5,000.
