Pacific students are creators. From theatre, dance and music, to studio art and sustainable design, to writing and publishing, the creative spirit comes to life at Pacific through performances, ensembles, installations and exhibitions.

Study the Arts
At Pacific, students embrace the power of creativity and storytelling to shape the world around them. They are writers and filmmakers, artists and designers, dancers, musicians and actors. Degree programs in the creative arts give students a pathway to combine rigorous study with creative expression.
Arts Events
This exciting environment of creativity also offers opportunities to uplift our communities through performances and special events. Student ensembles present concerts, plays, musicals and other performances. Student groups, like NHOH and the Indigenous Student Alliance, present cultural events, like the annual Lū‘au and Hō‘ike and the Pacific Powwow. Join us for a show!
Express Yourself
Pacific arts are often open to a broader community audience. Our faculty and students offer camps, workshops and lessons for area youth interested in the arts. The Cawein Gallery of Art features rotating art exhibits from around the world. And our Pacific University Press and other publications offer opportunities for writers and researchers to publish their works.
