Arts & Entertainment

At Columbia State, we celebrate the important role of the arts in a well-rounded education. In addition to the books read, tests taken and study groups formed that mark our students’ academic growth, we also provide a wide range of cultural and arts-focused opportunities.

Performance Series

The Performance Series brings diverse and engaging lineups of musical and theatrical entertainment. The series is made possible through a generous and long-standing commitment with its naming sponsor, First Farmers and Merchants Bank, and loyal Performance Series patrons.
