Dedicated to bringing the best in entertainment and arts education to the Fredonia campus, community, and beyond.
Rockefeller Arts Center is home to every student in the College of Visual and Performing Arts at Fredonia, and every community member throughout western New York and Pennsylvania who enjoys and supports the arts. When Rockefeller opened, Fredonia’s degree offerings in the arts as well as student enrollments in arts programs were a small fraction of what they are today. The Rockefeller facilities have created a professional and educational space for cultivation and growth, leading the the addition of degree programs such as B.F.A. Dance, B.F.A. Musical Theatre, B.F.A. Design and Technical Production, B.S. Sound Recording Technology, B.S. Music Therapy, and B.F.A. Animation & Illustration, among others. A new 40,000 sq. ft. addition and renovation project will allow for continued growth and success of arts and entertainment throughout the region.
