Almost 100 faculty artists and graduate students from the UI School of Art and Art History, the Division of Performing Arts, and the Writers’ Workshop are available through Arts Share. Faculty artists are distinguished professionals, having performed and taught throughout the United States and abroad. Graduate artists attend one of the prestigious University of Iowa graduate programs in the arts, and have been recommended to us by a faculty member. Most graduate artists have extensive performing and teaching experience.
