Hult Presents offers national & international performing arts events that might not be available to the Eugene community otherwise. Performers are selected for their cultural diversity, uniqueness, performance quality and for the creative educational experiences they can provide to the community in addition to performances. Important goals guiding Hult Presents also include accessibility, audience development and community partnerships.
