The mission of the Ball State University College of Fine Arts is to promote awareness, appreciation, and expertise in the fine arts among our students, the university community, and the public. Students and faculty members act as advocates for the arts in a variety of ways, ranging from education and performance to exhibition and consultation. CFA has outstanding programs in art, music, theatre/dance, and an impressive museum of art! 

We invite you to support each of these units and their programs by directly contributing to their various accounts available through the links below. You can also support the College of Fine Arts as a whole by donating from this page. Every single gift counts and we appreciate your support!
