More Information on Arts$

Funded by a portion of each full-time students’ activities fee, the Arts$ Program offers all full-time enrolled, degree-seeking UVA students one complimentary ticket for every performance of eligible UVA arts events. All full-time UVA students are eligible to request free arts tickets through the Arts$ program including undergraduate students in any school; graduate students in any school, including Medical, Law, and Darden students; and all students enrolled full-time through the School of Continuing and Professional Studies. An Arts$ ticket is intended to be used ONLY by the full-time UVA student who requested the ticket, and as such Arts$ tickets are non-transferable. UVA students must present their valid student ID at the Arts Box Office or venue box office to pick up their ticket. UVA students must present their ticket and student ID at the door for admission. Please note that it is considered an Honor Code violation for UVA students to give their Arts$ tickets to parents or any other person who is not a UVA student.
