PCAC: This is where you’ll find true passion for the arts. Where the creativity takes place. Music and theatre and dance, art and art history — it all happens here, in UNH’s center for the fine and performing arts. Here is where you’ll take in musical performances, view magnificent artwork done by students and faculty and attend plays and musicals and dance concerts. Where you’ll take classes and do studio work. Hear lectures by visiting artists. Visit the university art museum. Be inspired.


The Paul Creative Arts Center is home to a student community built around creativity. For performers and audience members, majors and non-majors, here is where you’ll take your first drawing class, join a chorale group or dance on stage.
