CELEBRATING 35 YEARS
 
Mark your calendar for a whole new season to celebrate 35 years of the Quick Center!
 
It is hard to believe that we will be wrapping up our 2024-25 season tomorrow with our final The Met: Live in HD screening of the season. Over the last year, we have welcomed more than 40,000 community members, students, faculty, and staff through our doors. We thank you for your support and give a special shout out to our Quick Members, Patrons, Sponsors, Partners, and Volunteers who make each season a success.

At Fairfield University, we are proud of the quality of arts experiences we offer our audiences. Regardless of age, neighborhood, beliefs, or artistic interests, we are excited to welcome each of you through our doors to share in the power of the arts. At a time when many arts organizations are struggling to keep their doors open, it is important to note that as a modern Jesuit Catholic university, Fairfield University is more committed than ever to ensuring we serve as a destination for arts and culture. The Quick is a place where dialogue, differing opinions, and a wide range of artistic sharing are at the core of how we explore our society, both locally and globally.

With this in mind, the Quick Center for the Arts is excited to present a robust season in 2025-26 that will celebrate our 35th anniversary with an amazing array of artists and incredible speakers. This programming will align with a larger yearlong line-up of programming in which Fairfield University will explore what makes our country what it is today in its 250 years as the United States of America. The season is bigger and better than ever, and we look forward to sharing it with you very soon!
