Far Eastern University takes pride in advancing the artistic and cultural accomplishments as guardians of our nation’s heritage. In 1990, Dr. Lourdes Reyes Montinola, then FEU Chair, and Dr. Felixberto Sta. Maria, then FEU President, established the President’s Committee on Culture and the Arts. Now renamed the FEU Center for the Arts (FCA), it continues to be true to its mission & vision to develop artistic talent and cultivate a general appreciation for the arts.

The FCA nurtures seven campus-based cultural groups: the FEU Bamboo Band, Chorale, Dance Company, Theater Guild, Drum and Bugle Corps, Drummers and Guides. Through FEU, it supports student artist scholars with the help of the alumni community and partner organizations.

The FEU Centennial Benches is a fund-generation campaign where for a one-time donation of PHP 100,000 (One Hundred Thousand Philippine Pesos), a campus bench is named in honor of a donor. All donations will form part of the OneFEUfund, a collective effort of the alumni to ensure that these educational bequests are successfully passed on to the next generation of tamaraws.
