SFU ARTSLIVE

SFU ArtsLIVE was an ongoing series of arts and cultural activations across a wide variety of unique spaces around SFU campuses.

Through the arts and culture, we joined together as a campus community to celebrate differences, engage in shared experiences, and foster a rich campus identity.

 

VIBRANT SPACES

As students, staff, and faculty returned to SFU spaces, there was an exceptional opportunity to reintroduce the campus experience as bright, alive, and welcoming. ArtsLIVE brought colour and renewed vitality to SFU spaces in a celebration of Indigenous and diverse creative voices and served as an integral part of reconnecting with one another for the past and future campus experience.

 

Vibrant Community

SFU ArtsLIVE was a university-wide student welcoming and wellness cultural initiative aimed at enriching campus life. Weekly live arts pop-ups and performances animated unique spaces across all three SFU campuses. Through the arts and culture, we joined together as a campus community to celebrate differences, engage in shared experiences, and foster a rich campus identity.

Vibrant Identity

SFU's equity, diversity, and inclusion values were featured throughout programming selection. Indigenous voices were featured prominently; from hosting events, to sharing artistic work, to behind-the-scenes decision-making. Through arts and culture, ArtsLIVE was an exceptional catalyst for the celebration of diverse voices across SFU's many communities.

Guiding Values

Creative Spaces 

In giving prominent space to the arts on campus, we signaled the value of creativity in a living and learning community.

Healthy Campus

In filling campus spaces with rich experiences through the arts, we created opportunities for accessible holistic care of the emotional and spiritual self.

Diversity

In celebrating and holding space for the rich diversity of voices, we created a space of abundance. All engagement was guided by EDI principles with a focus on Indigenous and alumni voices.

School Spirit 

In creating spaces that students, staff, faculty, and the greater public wanted to be a part of, we anchored the SFU campus experience through unique and shared identity.
