The local arts community is always under construction, changed by a constant stream of art students, professionals, and dabblers who flow in and out of the city, leaving behind bits of their legacy.

Every year, the University of Oregon graduates many students trained in a wide variety of artistic fields including music, theatre, dance, and the visual arts. Offering opportunities for real-life experience in performing, teaching, and presentation, the University provides a fertile foundation for artists on their way to fruitful careers.

Upon graduation, some students choose to leave Eugene to seek their fame and fortune, while others make the best of the diverse and creative community right here. A plethora of local theatres and galleries give ample opportunity for artists young and old to showcase their talent.
