University of Florida Performing Arts does more than entertain.  It breaks down walls.  It breaks down the walls between people by increasing cultural awareness through programming that attracts artists and audiences from around the globe.  It breaks down the wall between patron and performer with educational programs such as master classes, artist residencies and pre- and post-performance discussions.  It breaks down the wall between health and illness with AIM Together, a collaborative program between UFPA and Shands HealthCare that brings world-class performing artists to those who are hospitalized.  It breaks down the wall between idea and realization by commissioning and nurturing new work.  Art doesn’t have walls.  But sometimes life does.  UFPA breaks down the walls, enriching the lives of the citizens in the Heart of Florida, helping to make Gainesville “the #1 place to live.” Visit http://performingarts.ufl.edu/ for more information.
