Imperial shows its creative side at ArtsFest 2016

Imperial is getting creative this week as it celebrates the annual ArtsFest.

ArtsFest, which runs from the 15 - 19 February, is the College's annual arts, music and dance showcase. ArtsFest aims to highlight the diverse range of creative activities on offer to staff and students across the College.

The South Kensington Campus will play host to a range of exciting free events, including performances from Imperial’s Big Band, an Indian music concert and a live Jazz and Cocktail night.

Abhinav Varma, (Physics), Chair of ArtsFest, said: “Imperial ArtsFest is back this year - bigger and better than ever. With nearly two dozen societies participating and an average of three events a day for an entire week, ArtsFest 2016 (Feb 15-19) is not a week to miss.

All events are free! So take a break from lectures, head over to our eclectic venues, and sample the full range of arts at Imperial in what is Imperial’s biggest music, arts, dance and performance week.”
