You can be part of UCF Celebrates the Arts 2023 at Dr. Phillips Center for the Performing Arts! Every year, UCF brings its best and brightest creative minds to Dr. Phillips Center for the Performing Arts for a large-scale celebration. The annual festival showcases the university’s arts and humanities students, demonstrates the university’s commitment to partnerships, and illustrates the university’s positive impact in Central Florida and beyond.
