Since its debut in 1945, Spring Sing has showcased UCLA’s most talented students performing song, dance and sketch comedy. The Spring Sing visual art exhibition debuted last year as part of the continual effort to expand our platform to best support student artists of all forms. This year, our theme is "Unity in Community: Bruins Around the World." Although we may be physically apart from one another, we can still connect through the identities, backgrounds and traditions that we have in common.

Concerts at the Kitchen Table

COVID-19 has left the entire world at a standstill, and it has caused frustration, anxiety and fear to spread throughout the nation. While some are fortunate to have resources that can help during this time, many others are left financially deprived, which has resulted in an increase in food and health insecurity. The goal of this project is to bring together talented student-artists and use music as a way to create a meaningful experience that can impact those around them. While all performances by musicians and dancers are free, donations will be accepted that will go towards World Central Kitchen, an organization founded by award winning chef José Andrés, that is currently serving over 100,000 meals per day across the country in this time of crisis. More info about World Central Kitchen can be found here: https://wck.org/
