The Mills College Art Museum has launched its final senior art show, marking the decline of Mills' once-robust arts programs post-merger with Northeastern University. Prior to this change in 2022, Mills was renowned for its experimental arts offerings, including various programs in music, theater, and visual arts. The current focus at Mills has shifted towards interdisciplinary studies lacking a dedicated path for arts degrees, leading to a somber atmosphere among students and alumni who cherish the school's creative heritage.
"The music building was always so lively. It makes me so sad that there's never anyone in there." Meza reflects on the significant cultural loss at Mills.
"There was just such a robust and really great faculty here," Meza said, expressing the impact of Mills' strong arts program before it diminished due to the merger.
