Collins features an exciting range of arts and publications studios and equipment, along with lots of arts programming coordinated through our Arts Council.

Our arts facilities foster an atmosphere of creativity that helps to define Collins. Equipment for check-out is handled through the Duty Office, while access to facilities is through the student coordinator for that facility. These coordinators provide training opportunities for students at any level through regular studio open hours. Students can express themselves through events such as theatre productions, open mic nights, and dance workshops.
