Fine Arts Theme Floor at Manzanita-Mohave
Mural at "Manzi-Mo" painted by former Fine Arts resident.
You're invited to join this engaging and thriving community. Imagine a floor where all the arts are openly expressed – residents singing, playing musical instruments, rehearsing their lines, or painting canvases. You can be a part of this theme community at Manzanita-Mohave Hall.
Established in 2002, the Fine Arts theme community has grown from a single wing to an entire floor. It is open to students with a major in music, theater, dance, fine art, visual media, photography or architecture, or for those with an interest in the arts. The Fine Arts floor is a beehive of activity, ranging from mural painting to attending performances on campus and in the community.

"My goal is to perform in New York or on screen-be versatile. It's so inspiring to hear others practice. There are so many talented people here. The bond is great, like a fraternity.”

“This community made me feel more confident about coming to the UA. You instantly have something in common. We go to each other's performances all the time and support our hall-mates and they do the same for me. Living here teaches you to accept people's art, we're all different, but the same in so many ways. You will make so many close friendships here.”
