Join the Venue Activation List

Venue activation facilitates creative space sharing and infuses the arts into spaces of everyday life. The Notre Dame Arts Initiative invites regional venues, including campus venues at Notre Dame and other schools, to join the Venue Activation List. This list serves as an ongoing roster of venues interested in providing in-kind use of their space for public arts programming connected to the biennial.
