Connecting campus and community through the arts
Access & Engagement at the Claire Trevor School of the Arts (UCI Arts) connects UCI Arts with the community through meaningful experiences that transform lives – on campus and beyond.
We support students' professional development and shape the next generation of leaders. We work with faculty, staff, and community partners to build a more vibrant creative community in Orange County. We're committed to creating spaces that are safe, inclusive, and welcoming — especially for communities that have historically been left out of the arts and higher education.
This work is made possible through generous support from Steven M. Sorenson Foundation, Pacific Life Foundation, Farmers & Merchants Bank Foundation, and Richard B. Siegel Foundation.
