At UArts, you will experience different people from different backgrounds, teachers who have different teaching styles and a community of artists who have their own way of seeing the world through art. All of which could be a very different experience from your own, and that is okay. You will grow to learn, understand and appreciate the differences, as they will enlighten and strengthen your journey. UArts breeds trailblazers, thinkers, innovators, world-shifters. And you have to experience everything in order to know how and WHY you will take the world by storm. Experience it all. ”
