ArtStreet opened its doors in Fall 2004. This innovative facility is a unique learning and living arts complex located in the heart of the south student neighborhood. ArtStreet is part of a university initiative to integrate academic and experiential learning with residential and community living by providing housing for 58 juniors and seniors of all majors, several multi-purpose studio facilities and a student-run café. Other student-run ventures housed at ArtStreet include Flyer Radio and a recording studio.

Included in the studio rooms are two music practice booths, a small rehearsal space, a state-of-the-art multi-media room and an all-purpose room for use as a classroom, group meeting space, or study space. There is also a studio gallery, available for hosting informal performances as well as art exhibits, and a visual arts studio used by classes and individuals. An outdoor amphitheatre is available for concerts and performances during the warmer months.

ArtStreet was made possible through a generous gift from the Kettering Family Fund. While the primary focus of this facility is on the practice, display, discussion and exploration of the arts, all members of the UD community are encouraged to contribute to this dynamic learning and living environment.

In addition to ArtStreet, a performing and visual arts building is envisioned, thanks to a generous benefactor. Martha Walter, who died January 9, 2002 at the age of 90, left her entire estate to charity. The University has received $2 million of Walter's bequest and this gift has been designated toward a building for the performing and visual arts.
