About Arts & Entertainment

Arts & Entertainment

Spectator A&E covers all things New York arts and entertainment, on and off campus. We are composed of nine subsections, each of which provides student-relevant arts coverage in the daily pages, the Eye magazine, and on the section’s official blog, Spectacle.

In the past year alone, A&E writers have interviewed teen pop favorite Hanson, environmental artists Christo and Jeanne-Claude, Golden Globe Award-winning actor Colin Farrell, and Academy Award-winning director Sam Mendes.But some of the most important work Spec A&E does is focused right in our own neighborhood, reviewing student and campus productions, profiling student and faculty artists, authors, and musicians, and offering a guide to the multifaceted arts scene inside Columbia’s gates.
