Where Arts and Community Meet
Our community—faculty, staff, students, alumni, and neighbors—is united by a shared devotion to the arts and cultural life. The is a place made for creativity, collaboration, and purpose.
We believe art reflects and renews community, mirrors our moment in time, and amplifies individual voice. Through challenge and creative rigor, talents grow and lives are shaped—making the Fine Arts not just a discipline, but a way of being.
Here, culture is woven into everyday life. Imagine stepping into the Hermann Fine Arts Center on a warm evening, the scent of wood and stage lights in the air, as the curtain rises on a performance that blends dance, music, and storytelling in unforgettable ways.
Ascend to the third floor of the building and become immersed in the latest exhibit in Gallery 310. Or take a stroll to a visiting artist's Esbenshade Series performance at Peoples Bank Theatre or in our own Gathering Place.
Don't miss the Annual Multicultural Festival, which is organized and implemented by students and brings hundreds of community members to campus to share food, art, and traditions from multiple cultures!
At Marietta College, cultural dialogue extends beyond campus through field trips, guest lectures, author talks, and visiting professional artists—ensuring the arts remain a vibrant, living force in the region.
