For over 30 years, the California State University program has assembled some of the world’s top creative artists to be a part of the annual festival while teaching students and performing for the public. Summer Arts will feature more than 25 live events, so members of the community can see the world-class talent for themselves.

“We love being in Fresno, and couldn’t be happier to be embarking on our third summer back here,” said Joanne Sharp, assistant director of CSU Summer Arts. “We have so many great public events this year, and can’t wait to see all of our Fresno friends at the shows.”

This is the third straight year Fresno State has hosted the Summer Arts festival. Fresno State also hosted Summer Arts from 1999 through 2011 before it was held on the California State University, Monterey Bay campus from 2012-16.

Student showcases are free and open to the public on July 12, 23, 26 and 27, while Fresno State’s campus transforms into a public arts festival throughout July that allows the community to experience the talents of guest artists from around the world.
