About the showcase

The Chancellor’s Arts Showcase, a signature event hosted by the College of Arts and Science, continues to spotlight the immense artistic talent at the University of Missouri, more than forty years after it first took the stage. And, while the diversity in talent has evolved throughout the years, the vision to showcase the best in the arts at Mizzou remains the same.
