Watch How Art Gets Made

The UB Center for the Arts is the university’s arts hub, where UB students and WNY residents come for inspiration, entertainment and community. For over twenty-five years, we’ve been the place at UB where art gets made—and we believe the process is just as fascinating as the final presentation. 

How Art Gets Made is a video series highlighting the artists and art made here at the UBCFA. Subscribe to the UBCFA YouTube channel and follow us on social media each week as we guide you into the UBCFA’s art-making spaces and pull back the curtain on how artworks and performances are conceived, crafted, and presented.
