The arts are essential to Bryn Mawr's campus culture at every level, from student organizations to performances by world- renowned artists. In cooperation with nearby Haverford College, the thriving Arts Program offers students of both colleges courses in creative writing, dance, fine arts, music and theater that encourage students to integrate creative and critical thinking.

Through the arts program, students under the tutelage of master artists regularly give public performances that win praise from the Philadelphia press. The College's Creative Writing Program Reading Series brings some of the world's most revered authors to campus for readings and master classes with Bryn Mawr students, and the Performing Arts Series features acclaimed musicians, dancers and performance artists. Student-run concert series, film series and events sponsored by the College's Student Activities Office also present arts and entertainment throughout the academic year.

Less formal creative outlets also abound at Bryn Mawr. For many cultural groups on campus, the highlight of the year is a culture show that shares the group's artistic heritage with a diverse student body. Student a cappella singing groups offer a variety of styles and genres; the Chamber Music Society and the Renaissance Choir pair students with members of the faculty and visiting musicians. A literary magazine and a writers' group give peer support to developing wordsmiths; student-run theater groups and student dance ensembles stage performances several times each semester. Other student organizations focus on visual arts, sewing , filmmaking and gourmet cooking.
