A letter from our director
Dear Friends,
As we wind down our fall semester of programming, we would like to take a moment to celebrate our seniors who are graduating at the end of the semester. Each one has shared their extraordinary talents with their programs, our campus community, and the Driftless at large. We are richer for knowing them, and hope they will make many return trips to campus as proud Visual & Performing Arts alumni.
As we move towards the holidays, please know how thankful we are to all of our patrons for being a part of our extended family. Wishing you all safe travels in the coming weeks.
If you would like to receive our 2025-2026 season flier, please send your mailing address to vpa@uwlax.edu – or sign up for our VPA digital newsletter by clicking here.
Director of VPACheers!
