On October 3, we’re cutting the ribbon on the new Crewe Center for the Arts!
Join us on Friday, October 3, as we celebrate the opening of the University of Southern Maine’s Crewe Center for the Arts. This is more than a new building. It’s a home for excellence in music, visual arts, book arts, and theatre. It’s a gateway between the University community and the communities of Southern Maine. It’s an energetic hub to build Maine’s artistic and educator workforce. Above all, “the Crewe” is a symbol of vision, innovation, and shared purpose. Come celebrate with us!
