Story of Winthrop: College of Visual and Performing Arts

McLaurin Hall houses the main office of Winthrop University's College of Visual and Performing Arts (CVPA).  Winthrop is one of few liberal arts schools with nationally accredited programs in art, design, theatre, dance, and music.
They're Mission Statement, found on Winthrop's web site, reads:
 "The College of Visual and Performing Arts at Winthrop University offers nationally accredited programs in art, design, theatre, dance, and music, and provides academically challenging instruction in an interdisciplinary environment that inspires and prepares the next generation of artists, educators, scholars, and audiences. We promote intellectual inquiry and collaborative opportunities that encourage each student to develop a uniquely creative vision cultivated through artistry, teaching, scholarship, public performance, and community engagement."

The College of Visual and Performing Arts is known for providing the Winthrop and Rock Hill community with quality events in the arts with things ranging from galleries to shows available for anyone to attend. 


Doing this project was a little difficult because I had so many interviews that I wanted to use within the time allotted for the video. I also had a few times where my camera wouldn't cooperate so unfortunately one of my interviews had to be filmed with my iPhone camera. 

Overall this was an interesting topic and I was able to meet new and interesting people.
