Presented by the School of Visual Arts & Design (SVAD), visitors will experience student-created animation over the past five years. SVAD currently has two unique animation tracks: Character Animation and Experimental Animation. Both program specializations, which are a part of the Art, B.F.A. – Emerging Media Track, allow students to integrate the multiple domains of art, storytelling and technology while providing a solid foundation in techniques and theory. The Character Animation specialization also provides extended experience working in multidisciplinary teams on realistic problems.

Throughout the festival, clips of the Character Animation student films from the School of Visual Arts and Design will precede events in the Alexis & Jim Pugh Theater. Check arts.ucf.edu to see which films precede each performance! You must have a ticket for the corresponding performance to see the films.

UCF Celebrates the Arts is an annual eight-day showcase featuring interactive exhibitions of student artwork and performances in Visual and Performing Arts. Tickets will be available starting March 1. For a complete schedule, ticket reservations and other information, visit the festival’s website at www.arts.ucf.edu.
