The Presidential Performing and Visual Arts Series is a year-long program of art, music and theatre performances that bring culture and variety to Kingsville for faculty, staff, students and community audiences. The intention is to bring a new element to “learning outside the classroom” for students as they are entertained and educated in venues they might not normally visit. Community members are welcome to continue “life-long learning” by attending these events and interacting with our students.
