Johns Hopkins UniversityEst. 1876
America’s First Research University
Johns Hopkins has a long and distinguished record of achievement in the arts—from world renowned conservatory training to a vibrant collection of public art. Yet until recently the university has lacked a comprehensive vision to guide, connect, and elevate those efforts.
Commissioned in spring 2024, the Taskforce on the Arts was charged with developing a strategy to amplify the arts across the university and integrate them more fully into academic and student life. After more than a year of consultation and assessment, the Taskforce released its final report in September 2025. This report offers a unifying vision for the future of the arts and will serve as a guide for creating a more intentional and meaningful arts landscape at the University.
To carry forward this work, Johns Hopkins has established a new Office of the Arts, within the Office of the Provost. Led by Dr. Daniel H. Weiss, the office will advance the Taskforce’s recommendations and serve as a central resource that empowers new initiatives and curricular innovations that further embed the arts into academic life, the student experience, and community partnerships across the University.
