With a creative mission closely tied to the natural environment of the Sierra Nevada and Lake Tahoe, the Holman Arts & Media Center provides a collaborative space for creative arts education and community events. The unique space welcomes the community to experience the arts through its rotating gallery exhibits, Visiting Gallery Artist collaborations, the long-running Summer Arts Workshops and regular public artist talks.

The Holman Arts & Media Center is home to the Low-Residency MFA in Interdisciplinary Arts program as well as the undergraduate Semester at Lake Tahoe arts courses.
