ArtsFest 2026

Welcome to ArtsFest, our annual celebration of the arts at the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse. The annual festival follows our tradition of preserving a place and time for the campus (and wider community) to honor, celebrate, and advocate for the arts’ position at the heart of our institution. We engage with the arts because they bring us joy, challenge us, create shared experiences, and foster community. 

ArtsFest Weekend kicks off with a Jazz Combo concert (April 23), followed by an open jam session and ArtsFest opening reception. Friday’s signature event, the Senior Art Major Exhibition (April 24), showcases the culmination of creativity and technique from the next generation of visual artists. Saturday (April 25) offers a music double-header, starting with the Symphonic Band at 6 p.m. and the Wind Ensemble at 7:30 p.m. The weekend’s final signature event is the April 26 matinee of the musical comedy A Gentleman’s Guide to Love and Murder (running April 24 through May 2). Block off the weekend on your calendars, and join us for the most dynamic cultural weekend of the year!
