Students are our top priority.
We strive for excellence.
We thrive on diversity.

The Arts at Georgia Tech

The launch of this new school is a critical part of Georgia Tech's broader strategic plan for growing the arts across the Institute. Georgia Tech recognizes the role of the visual and performing arts in cultivating creative thinking, the increasingly important role that emerging technologies play in the arts, and the potential for Georgia Tech to support a thriving campus arts community in connection with a growing ecosystem of arts organizations and creative industries throughout the state. Georgia Tech has also announced plans for the Creative Quarter, a 7-acre innovation district that will foster collaborations, inspire innovation, and build community through arts, creativity, and technology.
