Why You Should Consider a Donation

Please consider making a donation to the 51³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏ Performing Arts Center’s annual giving campaign. Donations, no matter the amount, help us meet our mission.

Part of our mission is providing education programming, and your donation helps offset the cost of these endeavors. Every season we work with our artists to incorporate an educational activity into their time with us. For instance:

  • The Coronado High School Madrigal Singers performed with Danú
  • Violinist Taylor Davis visited Pinecrest Elementary School to talk about her career
  • Cirque Mechanics performed 42 FT for over 1,000 students during a special matinee performance
  • Visiting guitar artists worked with local secondary and college students in master classes

We are proud to be a part of 51³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏ, and as a state institution we receive some salary assistance. However, costs for shows we produce, some facilities improvements, and other projects we undertake come from ticket sales, rentals, and donations.

We pride ourselves on being good stewards of every dollar we receive. Your gift matters to the 51³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏ Performing Arts Center.
