David G. Pollart Center for Arts and Humanities
Opening the door to arts and humanities at WSU.

The David G. Pollart Center for Arts and Humanities serves as both the catalyst for innovative scholarship and creative activity, and as a public “front door” to the arts and humanities at WSU.

Conscious of the University’s land-grant mission, the Pollart Center operates as an incubator for new educational programs and scholarly/creative initiatives that cross traditional academic boundaries to address some of the most challenging questions we have about our shared past, present, and future. By supporting programming in the arts, music, and humanities, the Pollart Center also offers opportunities for the wider public to encounter new ideas and sustain their deepest values. In doing so, the Pollart Center hopes to build a shared community of curiosity—one that encourages the questioning, conversation, and sense of wonder vital to a flourishing society.  

The Pollart Center is actively engaged through opportunities available to faculty, students, and the greater community in a wide variety of ways, including but not limited to:

  • Faculty Fellows Program
  • Publicly Engaged Fellows Program for Graduate Students
  • Guest Lecturers & Programing
  • Opportunities for student and community engagement with the arts and humanities
  • Workshops for first generation graduate students
