One of the UUG's best presidents was a music major. He was attracted to the hard core geekiness first and discovered the artsy uses later. Non-art majors also use the HFAC for generals and electives. I wouldn't bend over backwards to cover every building on campus, but if it isn't too much hassle might as well give it a shot.
