Located in the Odeum, the Center for the Arts used to be an American military chapel. This petite chapel features a classic vaulted ceiling, a Grotrian-Steinweg piano, and a 120-seat auditorium, which not only makes it a perfect performance hall but also a place where visitors can bask in the ambiance of art.
The NTU Center for the Arts is a Level I functional structure, which aims to enrich the faculty and students’ experience in art through diverse art exhibitions and symposiums on literature, aesthetics, music, drama, and dance, with the goal of creating a campus that speaks of art and humanities. In addition to publishing NTU Almanac for the Arts that highlights various artistic events held at NTU, the center also puts on concerts, lectures, and small theatre shows from time to time. In addition to the concerts, lectures, workshops, and theaters at Odeum, the center also arranges multiple events and performances for different spaces and festivals at NTU, therefore NTU faculty and students will often find the center’s decorative touches at unexpected corners in the campus. Moreover, the center offers various projects for individual and group performers, on and off campus, to stage performances at its venue, in the hope of imbuing the campus with a diverse artistic atmosphere. The projects offered by the center are as below.

1. Let’s Art

Let’s Art is a proposal project aimed at encouraging cooperation and communication between individual students, student clubs, and the Center for the Arts. In addition to offering NTU students the opportunities to perform and showcase creations, the projectalso selects and awards students with outstanding proposals and artworks.

2. Professional Art Show
