Join us as the VCU Alumni African American Alumni Council hosts a School of the Arts online program in honor of Murry N. DePillars, Ph.D., dean of the School of the Arts from 1976-95. Throughout his 20 years of leadership, VCUarts flourished, growing to become one of the largest arts schools in America with expanded performing arts facilities, city jazz festivals and high-profile fashion shows. These events — many organized largely by the dean himself — realized his goal of bringing a diverse public together. The Fine Arts Building is located at 1000 Broad St. The program will feature a virtual tour of the building, testimonials and music.
