Arts

Let us entertain you! Come to Pacific University to enjoy performing and visual arts with a wide selection of public events in music, theatre, dance and visual arts.

Watch our student performers take the stage — the Music Department concert season highlights a variety of musical styles, while the Department of Theatre & Dance stage theatre productions and dance performances throughout the year. And don't miss the Pacific University Annual Lūʻau, the only completely student-run and student-directed lū‘au in the Northwest for over sixty years. This presentation of traditional Polynesian dance, music and entertainment attracts about 2,000 people every year.

Experience the Kathrin Cawein Gallery of Art, featuring studio art in monthly rotating exhibits.

The Pacific University Music Department is proud to present its student ensembles in concert this Fall 2023! Grab your tickets now for our choral concert at 7:30 p.m. Friday, Oct. 27, in McCready Hall.

Written by Gray Ashford '17, Tunnel City explores the life of a transgender male trying to find his place in the rough-and-tumble Pacific Northwest of the early 20th century.

The Kathrin Cawein Gallery of Art proudly presents "The Art of Seeing," a retrospective of Faculty Emeritus Jim Flory’s photographic images. The exhibition, which runs through April 20, spans a lifetime of his love for photography and his passion for teaching it. Join Pacific for a closing reception tomorrow night.
