The Perry and Marty Granoff Center for the Creative Arts was officially dedicated on Thursday, Feb. 10, 2011, with a ceremony celebrating the arts at Brown. Music, dance, video, visual art, and sculpture filled the new building, as students, faculty, donors, and friends of the University paid tribute to the generosity of the Granoff family. As Marty Granoff said in his remarks, "The laboratory has been created, and now the fun part begins."
