For decades, the Chancellor\u2019s Arts Showcase has provided a stage for\u00a0the full range of Mizzou student creativity<\/a>. This year\u2019s event, held in the historic Missouri Theatre, reaffirmed our commitment to the arts \u2013 and to supporting students and their faculty mentors who make Mizzou a national leader in creative excellence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The showcase featured imaginative art, architecture and design exhibits filling the lobby and the adjoining Columbia Art League. We also hosted a full on-stage program, including Theatre and Performance Studies scene selections, School of Visual Studies short films and a thrilling performance by the University of Missouri Wind Ensemble.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The evening included the world premiere of an ambitious new composition by Mizzou student Dean Wibe, winner of the\u00a02026 Sinquefield Composition Prize<\/a>. We remain deeply grateful to Curator Jeanne Cairns Sinquefield and Rex Sinquefield for their extraordinary support of music and the arts at Mizzou. Wherever I go, I meet people who have great respect for the Sinquefield Composition Prize and the Mizzou New Music Initiative<\/a> \u2013 reflecting the reach of our community\u2019s reputation and impact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mizzou remains committed to supporting the work and creativity of our students, who benefit from training alongside Grammy-<\/a> and Guggenheim-winning<\/a> faculty. I\u2019m grateful to all our students for sharing their talent and vision, and for the incredible show of community support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
