About the Office for the Arts
The Office for the Arts at Harvard (OFA) supports student engagement
in the arts and serves the University in its commitment to the arts.
Through its programs and services, the 
OFA fosters student art making,
connects students to accomplished artists, integrates the arts into university
life, and partners with local, national and international constituencies.
By supporting the development of students as artists and cultural stewards,
the OFA works to enrich society and shape communities in which the arts
are a vital part of life.
OFA programs enable students to explore an art form in depth and to work directly with professional artists in a wide range of courses, workshops, master classes, residencies, and apprenticeships and in the creation of new works.
