At Radford University, creativity is more than a skill; it is a journey of exploration, discovery and connection. The CVPA ARTS Fund (Artist Residency & Travel Support) was created to help art, dance, design, music and theatre students pursue life-changing experiences beyond campus. From national showcases and juried exhibitions to study-abroad intensives and artist residencies, this fund helps Highlanders take their talents further by turning classroom learning into professional growth and creative impact.
Every opportunity supported by the ARTS Fund reflects the heart of the Radford experience: hands-on learning, resilience in the face of challenge, and preparing students for whatever their future may hold. Whether a design student lands an internship with a San Francisco merchandising agency, a dancer trains with a renowned company in London, or a theatre student lands an opportunity with a summer touring theatre company, each journey expands what’s possible and brings new inspiration back to Radford.
When you give to the ARTS Fund, you invest directly in student dreams. Your support helps emerging artists represent Radford’s creative spirit on new stages, in new galleries and in new communities. Together, we’re empowering brighter futures and building stronger communities through the transformative power of the arts—one Highlander at a time.
