Our Statements

Mission Statement

The Arts Center at Lake Superior State University is the home of an array of exciting live performances and visual presentations by visiting and local artists, as well as speakers addressing social, cultural and intellectual concerns. It also serves as the dedicated space for the training of Lake State’s theatre, music and visual art students. By providing quality programming and engaging community outreach, and through the work of highly qualified faculty and staff, we strive to fully integrate the fine and performing arts into the liberal arts based education at Lake Superior State University, as well as the lives of the people of the Great Lakes.


Vision Statement

The Arts Center at Lake Superior State University will engage our communities in presentations that advance the culture of the mind, body, and spirit – reminding us all of what it is to be human.
