The University of Toledo College of Visual of Performing Arts is offering a wonderful way for you to engage your arts smarts this summer through Summer SmARTS, a series of nine workshops in art, voice and instrumental performance, music education and more. They are independent of one another so you can choose to take one or more, according to your time and inclination.

The Summer SmARTS workshops can be taken for personal development, and some for college credit at the undergraduate or graduate level. When taken for college credit, the regular participant cost is often waived, in lieu of applicable tuition and fees. The workshops are listed below in greater detail.
