Events

At the Lisa Smith Wengler Center for the Arts at Pepperdine University, we spend a lot of time asking ourselves, "What makes a good show?" Selecting the right artists is key—musicians, dancers, and performers with incredible talent and relentless determination to perfect their craft. It is an honor to share the artists of our 2026–2027 season of performances and museum exhibitions. Click here to see our 2026-27 CFA Season Brochure.
