Spring Forward is the concert of milestone and capstone choreographed works and lighting by Bachelor of Fine Arts majors.

Concert highlights include the classic 1963 work Cantilever by Erick Hawkins, a significant 20th century choreographer of modern dance.

The concert features a reimagining of the 1910 Ballet Russe work, Firebird, with music by Igor Stravinsky.

Co-presented by philanthropist Susan N. Houston, the College of Fine Arts hosts the free annual Art Walk to honor the Las Vegas community for its dedicated support of the arts and culture in Southern Nevada.
