Take the opportunity to come to Mason and see the spaces where you'll be performing, practicing and perfecting your craft.
The College of Visual and Performing Arts continues to align our visit and on-campus engagement opportunities with guidance from Mason’s own health data, the Governor of Virginia and recommendations from public health agencies. As Virginia’s and Mason’s guidance evolves, we will update this page with opportunities for in-person visits. Please visit the admissions website for the most up-to-date information.
