Arts

Biola supports the arts. In fact, Biola believes the arts play an important role in demonstrating the inherent beauty of God's design. There are different ways you can be involved in the artisitic community at Biola, be it musically, theatrically or visually.

Music

Crowell Hall is the epicenter of music at Biola, hosting concerts, operas and plays. Various forms of worship or performance occur throughout other locales on campus, though, be it Jars of Clay in Chase Gymnasium, Eisley in Sutherland Auditiorium, or a student-led praise time in Calvary Chapel.

Other specific opportunities to hear or participate in live musical performance include:

• Biola Choral Ensembles – There are four groups for which students can audition: Chorale, Vocal Jazz, Women's Chorus, and King's Men. Each represents a different musical style and type of group.

• Biola Pep Band – The Biola Pep Band plays at every home basketball game and utilizes a variety of instruments. Elective credit is offered for participation.

• The Eddy – Sponsored by Social Board, the Eddy is a free concert series that takes place on Thursday nights outside Common Grounds. Local bands and musicians from Biola use the Eddy as an opportunity for exposure, experience, and expression.

• Music at Noon – On Wednesdays from 12:30-1 p.m. guest artists and University faculty perform in a variety of musical styles, including vocal and instrumental. Music at Noon is intended to be an uplifting mid-day break.

Theatre

Between Theatrical Art, the Music Department, and Biola Youth Theater programs, there are many opportunities to attend and be involved with theatre performances at Biola.

Art

The University Art Gallery hosts traveling national art shows, but it is best known for its regular senior openings and shows. Most Gallery openings happen once per month and allow current students an opportunity to publicize and reveal their "final" artistic vision. The gallery is operated by the Department of Art and is open for viewing most days.
