Emory is home to a vibrant arts community and welcomes the public to more than 300 annual events featuring guest artists, faculty and students. The mission for the arts at Emory is to provide a dynamic, multidisciplinary environment for the study, creation and presentation of the arts.
Emory's major arts entities include: departments and programs for theater studies, film, art history, music, creative writing, dance and visual art; the resident professional and student theater company, Theater Emory and its Sister City Playwrights Project and Southeast Playwright Center; the Schatten Gallery and literary programs of the Woodruff Library; Poetry Council; and the Michael C. Carlos Museum.
Internationally-acclaimed artists and ensembles are presented through the Flora Glenn Candler Concert Series and Emory Coca-Cola Artists-in-Residence Program. Emory is also home to a variety of student arts groups and faculty-led ensembles.
The Schwartz Center for Performing Arts opened in 2003, and houses a dance studio, theater lab and the Cherry Logan Emerson Concert Hall. The hall's centerpiece is the elaborate and monumental Jaeckel Opus 45 Organ.
Additional performance venues include the Mary Gray Munroe Theater and Performing Arts Studio. The Heilbrun Music and Media Library and Special Collections of the Woodruff Library provide resources for visual, literary and performing arts scholars. The Visual Arts Building and Gallery, which was renovated, expanded and renamed in 2005, offers a diversity of contemporary exhibitions.
Most Emory arts events are free and open to the public. For more information, visit www.arts.emory.edu or call the Arts at Emory Box Office at 404-727-5050.
Emory believes that human well-being involves not only the mind, but
also the body. The institution's longstanding motto, "Athletics for All,"
was designed to encourage all students to participate in physical
activities. Students may engage in athletics for competition, fun or
fitness.
Emory offers an intercollegiate athletics program with 18
varsity sports under the auspices of NCAA Division III, a club sports
program, an intramurals program and a Fitness Emory program.
All members of the Emory community -- including alumni, faculty and staff -- are invited to
participate in recreational exercise in the university's primary athletics facility, the George W. Woodruff Physical Education
Center, as well as at the Student Activities and Academics Center (SAAC), and at the Blomeyer Fitness Center.
