Open House

Picture yourself as a Herron student

On Friday, November 10, we're opening our doors for you because there's no substitute for making a visit to Herron to get a feel for the vibe, our people, and the campus of Indiana University–Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI).

Our annual Open House provides you with the ideal opportunity to picture yourself as a Herron student. You'll not only learn about our undergraduate and graduate programs, but also meet our diverse community of artists, designers, educators, art therapists, and historians.

Plus, you'll see student work, explore our facilities and galleries, and discover countless professional possibilities that could result from a Herron degree.
