ARTS IN THE COMMUNITY
Art,
faith and justice intersect
 We return from the playful sabbatical summer
refreshed and ready to resume our mission of teaching.
The Department
of Performing Arts has given this awesome task
an artful twist, and with UWM’s Peck School of the Arts
and Alverno College launched a year-long, city-wide festival
and academic conference designed to engage students and the
community in an exploration of art, faith and social justice.
Festival literature explains that “art
is a form of prayer” and

series certain to provide abundant opportunities for the
exploration of faith and justice through art with these
