Events

Create and celebrate.

DePauw's Creative School invites you to experience a world of artistic expression and innovation through our eclectic events calendar. From stunning visual art exhibitions and avant-garde film screenings to interactive design workshops and creative writing readings, our events showcase the boundless imagination and talent within our community. These gatherings serve as a platform for emerging artists to share their unique voices and for audiences to engage with diverse forms of creative expression.

Whether you're an aspiring artist or an enthusiastic supporter of the arts, our events offer inspiring opportunities to explore the intersection of creativity, technology and culture.

My passion for art accessibility has come from my own passion for art in general.
