Friends of the Center
EKU Center for the Arts is dedicated to shared experiences in and through the arts. Your support involves you in a community of people who share this passion and help us to bring people together for purposeful programs and unique experiences.
By becoming a Friend of the Center, you will:
- Help keep ticket prices affordable to ensure all members of our community have a chance to experience the arts.
- Enrich the lives of area school children by supporting our K-12 Student Discovery Series.
- Open our doors wider to students, local and regional artists, and community groups.
- Support the economic growth of our community— EKU Center generates an estimated $4 million in economic impact each year.
With an annual gift of $250 or more you receive access to advance notice of upcoming programs and ticket pre-sale opportunities. For those seeking a transformative partnership, please feel free to contact our team directly to tailor your support to areas of greatest need or specific artistic initiatives.
