Arts Outings

This event is part of the Arts Initiative's series of Arts Outings, where you can connect with fellow arts lovers through behind-the-scenes access to New York City's top museums and performing arts spaces.

The Arts Initiative's Arts Outings happen throughout the academic year, and typically take the form of a performance or guided museum tour paired with a unique opportunity, such as a talk with the play’s creative team or live music in a gallery.

Events are open to current Columbia and Barnard students with valid CUID/BCID on a first-come, first-served basis with limited capacity. Tickets purchased by non-students will be automatically refunded.
