Welcome!

Welcome to the 2017 12th annual presentation of ARTS by George! Experience an evening like no other at George Mason University's magnificent Center for the Arts in Fairfax, Virginia!

Imagine a night of marvelous music, delicious dance, tempting theater, vibrant visual art, and creative cuisine. Your journey of discovery begins in the ARTS by George! tent, where you will be greeted by an Arts Management Student Ambassador who will provide you with information to plan an evening of your own tastes with the opportunity to experience Mason’s best in art, dance, music, theater, computer game design, arts management, and film and video studies. As your route enfolds, you will enjoy brief, engaging presentations by talented Mason students and faculty in a variety of "behind-the-scenes" studio environments in the recently expanded de Laski Performing Arts Building. You will also pass through our unique arts-related silent auction where you will have the opportunity to bid on an array of experiences and items. Along the way, you will find sumptuous food stations, plentiful bars and the centrally located ARTS by George! tent, where guests can gather and enjoy more exciting cuisine and beverage throughout the evening.

After you have savored the remarkable talent of the Arts at Mason – and feasted well – you will arrive at the Center for the Arts Concert Hall. There, you will be ushered to premium seats for the 8 P.M. performance featuring a special guest artist.

After the concert, you will join The Midtown Men on the Concert Hall stage for an elegant champagne and dessert reception.

ARTS by George! salutes the many generous sponsors who continue to make this event a success. We applaud the talented students and faculty for their dedication and enthusiasm. We give a standing ovation to the hard-working volunteers for their tireless devotion.

We know you will have an extraordinary evening!
