Arts

Stanford has a thriving artistic and musical community, including theater groups such as Ram's Head, and award-winning a cappella music groups, such as the Stanford Harmonics, the Stanford Mendicants, Stanford Fleet Street Singers, Mixed Company, Talisman A Cappella, and Everyday People.

The creative writing program brings young writers to campus via the Stegner Fellowships and other graduate scholarship programs. This Boy's Life author Tobias Wolff teaches writing to undergraduates and graduate students.

Dance aficionados can participate in the school's vintage dance program (a part of the Drama department) or try out for the Stanford Band's Dollie dance troupe.

Stanford University is home to the Cantor Center for Visual Arts museum with 24 galleries, sculpture gardens, terraces, and a courtyard first established in 1891 by Jane and Leland Stanford as a memorial to their only child.
