The mission of the Regina A. Quick Center for the Arts is to create a dynamic and inclusive visual and performing arts center for the whole community that inspires intellectual curiosity, broadens perspectives and transforms the way we see the world and how we interact with one another.
Through high caliber artistic programs that each invite inquiry, experimentation and reflection, the Quick Center for the Arts aims to collaborate with dynamic performers, artists and experts to inspire, engage and involve audience members to enter into conversations with, journey with and even co-create the artistic experience.
As part of a Jesuit institution, Quick Center Programming aims to serve the intellectually hungry and perpetually curious, providing a space for the exploration of remarkable and inspiring performing arts opportunities for the Fairfield University community at large.
Fairfield University's Quick Center for the Arts is a multi-faceted facility that presents a wide variety of high quality performances, lectures, and exhibits. The Quick serves a large and diverse population, and strives to serve this community as a place to gather for shared enrichment experiences, both artistic and educational. The Quick Center for the Arts houses the: • 740-seat Aloysius P. Kelley, S.J. Theatre • 120-seat Lawrence A. Wien Experimental (Black Box) Theatre • Fairfield University Art Museum: Thomas J. Walsh, Jr. Gallery
In addition to our in-person programming, the Quick Center for the Arts has created a virtual platform, thequicklive.com, that offers hundreds of free live panels and lectures with experts, and includes an archive of many of those programs for continued education.
