By making a contribution to the UMass Fine Arts Center you demonstrate your commitment to the arts and the vital role they play in our lives. Your gift helps provide the resources needed for the high quality, diversified programming of the Center. Yes, ticket revenue and sponsorships help meet production costs, but it's our Friends that truly bridge the gap and ensure the Center's mission to bring arts into our community through a broad array of exemplary performances, exhibitions, and educational programs.

Friends of the Fine Arts Center have the fantastic world of the arts at their fingertips with exclusive events, artist workshops, invitations and other benefits just for donors. Recent activities include:

• a trip to the new Museum of Modern Art in New York complete with an architectural tour
• a trip to Dia:Beacon and the Tallix Foundry
• receptions with the dancers of Tap Dogs:Rebooted and musicians and dancers of Momix
• a gallery talk with World Trade Center site photographer Joel Meyerowitz
• Criticize This, an art critics panel discussion

You may also choose to designate your gift to the Fine Arts Center program of your choice. Or, you may leave your gift unrestricted so that we may direct it to the area of greatest need.

Annual gifts from Friends make a critical difference in:

• Presenting performing and visual artists from around the globe
• Nurturing young and diverse audiences
• Supporting our community artist residency activities
• Keeping ticket prices as affordable as possible-including specially priced student tickets
• more...
