UCF Celebrates the Arts 2023 welcomed audiences of all ages, abilities and interests with more events than ever before.

UCF’s annual festival of creativity returns April 2–15 with a wide range of affordable events. Tickets are on sale now.

The honor is designed to recognize some of UCF’s brightest stars who shine a positive light on UCF and on their respective fields.

As Ren Joseph approaches graduation on Friday, he reflects on how his time at UCF helped him find even more of himself.

“The Grumpiest Boy in the World,” which will be performed Saturday at Celebrates the Arts, is the latest production out of the TYA program — an important arts education field that provides a range of skills and career opportunities.

UCF receives a grant of $15,000 to host the annual event in Central Florida featuring the Tayari Jones novel in early 2021.

Tickets now on sale for this year’s community art showcase, which includes pieces that honor the late feminist art movement pioneer.

“Going into my fifth year at UCF I’ve started to think more about access to the things that contribute to our happiness,” writes music instructor Chung Park.

From Universal Orlando’s Epic Universe to Rainforest Cafe, here’s the rundown on the themed-experiences industry — and how UCF students will be poised to lead it.
