About Us
At Denison University, we believe that involvement fosters community. All of our student organizations are open to every student, regardless of background, interests, or experience. Our groups are centered on inclusivity, connection, and shared passions—so explore, engage, and become part of our vibrant community.
The HERE US Arts Collective is a new student organization at Denison. Our mission is to nurture a supportive community where POC, regardless of artistic experience or background, can explore their individuality and celebrate their culture through creative expression. Whether members want to develop their individual artistic voices, collaborate with others to create work, or simply discover and appreciate a rich intersection of art and culture, this is the place. The HERE US Arts Collective will collaborate with Denison’s Theatre Department to create the annual HERE US production, which originated our values and community. Now in its 5th year, HERE US showcases diverse stories, work, and ideas from the complex POC identity. Beyond this collaboration, the HERE US Arts Collective will offer a range of events and opportunities throughout the year, encouraging members to explore their creativity and engage with the community at any level of commitment.
