What is Vibe Fest?
Vibe Fest is a contemporary, immersive celebration of artistic excellence in the Faculty of Fine Arts.
Showcasing the creative work of students, alumni and faculty, Vibe Fest transforms our spaces into vibrant, interactive art experiences that are open, inclusive and free to the public. From engaging performances to experimental installations, audiences are invited to explore the full spectrum of emerging art practices across disciplines.
More than an event, Vibe Fest builds community connections, celebrates creative innovation and advocates for the value of arts education by bringing people directly into the world of contemporary artmaking.
