Fine Arts Experience

Fine Arts Experience, also called Fine Arts Productions, Fine Arts Series or Concert, Opera & Drama Series, are a series of productions usually put on once or twice a semester from college students in the Fine Arts Department. Productions are usually open to the public, with students usually offered reduced or free ticket stubs.

However, some fundamentalist colleges, especially ones associated with the Independent Baptist denomination, require all students to attend Fine Arts, or be subject to disciplinary actions such as fines, demerits, separation or conduct warnings.
