Come find us at the North end of campus, with soaring views of the Salish sea and breathtaking mountain vistas. This land we have the privilege to be on is the traditional, ancestral, and unseeded territory of the Musqueam people where art and culture have flourished for centuries. Join us to immerse yourself in everything from live music, theatre and opera to film, contemporary and fine art, a world-renowned Museum of Anthropology and more. Here we educate and showcase student creatives, scholars and faculty, present world-renowned performers and are home to innovative public programs, international touring exhibitions and memorable learning experiences. We hold the creative and performing arts as core to deep disciplinary knowledge and applied research in higher education, and even more fundamentally, as the key to leading a fulfilled and connected life. This global moment calls for bold imagination – come ignite yours with us.
