Arts at the Hopkins Bloomberg Center
Johns Hopkins University believes that the academic enterprise of research, discovery, and teaching would not be complete without the arts and humanities to explore and communicate ineffable qualities of the human condition. As such, the arts and humanities play a vital role at the Hopkins Bloomberg Center where visitors can enjoy concerts and screenings in our state-of-the-art theater, engage in conversations with leading authors, and view works from globally renowned artists in our jewel-box art gallery. At the Center, the arts enrich student learning, inspire the exchange of ideas across disciplines and divisions, and foster community and civic engagement among the public. Join the Hopkins community for performances from the Peabody Institute, events and talks from the Krieger School of Arts and Sciences, and other cross-disciplinary cultural programming from all of the University’s divisions.
The Arts And Democracy
Just as democracy depends on facts and evidence to inform policy, it also relies on narratives that illuminate our shared experiences, make sense of our differences, and reveal the complexities of our past. At its essence the Hopkins Bloomberg Center is a stage for these narratives—policy-driven, research-grounded explanations, and creative expression across a broad range of viewpoints, artistic traditions, and disciplines. Through art in all its forms, musicians, dancers, actors, filmmakers, novelists, and other creatives help us make sense of humanity’s shared history and experience. Taken together at the Hopkins Bloomberg Center, these many different kinds of expression weave a rich tapestry about where America has been and what it can become.
