The College of Fine Arts is excited to welcome in person audiences to performances, exhibitions and other exciting events this fall, after being unable to host off-campus visitors during the 2020-21 academic year.

Masks Required

Due to the current Tarrant County Community Spread Level of “High Transmission,” TCU requires that face masks be worn in all indoor campus spaces to help protect the health and safety of our community. Disposable masks are readily available at primary building entrances. All performers, participants, patrons and audience members are required to wear a face mask.
