At The University of Iowa, students have always had a variety of opportunities to act, sing, dance, write, play music, paint, and express themselves creatively through Iowa's many arts and performance activities and venues. Now students can enrich their experience at Iowa by choosing to live in the Performing Arts Learning Community.
The floor is open to first-year students majoring in the visual, creative, and performing arts, with preference given to students of dance, music, art and art history, film, photography, creative writing, and theatre arts.
Located in Currier Residence Hall, this coed fine arts learning and living community serves a diverse group of artists, actors, musicians, dancers, and writers. Students who choose to live in this community have one more venue outside the classroom that supports and sparks their creative efforts.
The newly remodeled public areas in Currier offer performance spaces, practice rooms, a commons area, an expanded computer services area, and various other amenities for artists, filmmakers, writers, and performers. Currier is conveniently located directly across the Iowa River from the fine arts campus, which gives students easy access to Halsey Hall (Department of Dance), the Voxman Music Building, the Theatre Arts Building, North Hall (Space/Place Theater), and the Art Building.
