Music, Arts, & Culture
In Eau Claire, both the university and the surrounding community are full of opportunities to experience music, art, and culture. We’re not just occasionally appreciative of the value of music and art, it’s a way of life here. And people across our community are eager to share their cultures with others through food, traditions, music, dance, and welcoming events.

A Window to the World
Becoming a Blugold is about more than textbooks and lectures. You join a community eager to welcome you and share their passions with you. You’ll find countless chances to make and appreciate music and art. And you’ll find opportunities to learn about a culture different from and, in surprising ways, similar to your own.
