Create.
If you have the creativity and the drive, Gustavus is ready to take you as far as you want to go. Gusties perform the world over, and they perform right on campus. They love to be both the creator and the audience member. Our students create and collaborate and work with exceptional faculty to explore freedom of expression from every bright, loud, soft, sharp, and difficult angle. Actor, singer, musician, painter, sculptor? We want to know what you have to say. We want to help you say it with context, craft, and creativity.
