Giving

The art world is at a crossroads. New technologies and new directions.

At the Claire Trevor School of the Arts, creativity, research and collaboration come together to drive innovation across UC Irvine. For nearly six decades, our faculty and students have set the standard — advancing traditional art forms while pioneering new ones, and earning national and international recognition for their work.

Your generosity supports the priorities at the heart of our mission. Together, we’re shaping the future of the arts on campus and in the community.

We invite you to consider making a gift to the area that resonates most with you.
