New Modules Test

The Johns Hopkins University Bloomberg Center is a vibrant new cultural hub for downtown D.C., bringing audiences together to learn, access the arts, and advance dialogue that fuels discovery and democracy. It is a destination for cross-disciplinary arts and culture programming that entertains, as well as reflects and interprets our society. The Center offers free, rotating art exhibitions at the Irene and Richard Frary Gallery; public music and dance performances by the faculty, students, alumni of the Peabody Conservatory and guest artists; and literature, film, and other humanities programs.

Culture & Humanities Events

The Hopkins Bloomberg Center offers a wide variety of free, public programming from film screenings to author talks to panels and lectures—each at the intersection of the arts and public policy, featuring leading scholars from across the University’s divisions and today’s cultural luminaries.

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.

We believe…

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.
