Whether you are a first-time visitor or a long-time subscriber, you've discovered the UMass Fine Arts Center, a gem in Western Massachusetts. Our multifaceted Center allows us to share exciting performances, inspiring visual exhibits and extensive outreach programs for school children and community organizations all under one "roof," all right in our own backyard.

Perhaps this is the time to consider not only being a patron of the Fine Arts Center but also being a Friend.

As a Friend of the Fine Arts Center you will join a group of individuals who love the arts as much as you do, who are committed to bringing cultural experiences to their communities, and who provide additional funds to sustain the level of quality programming provided by the Fine Arts Center. Friends also take part in special artist receptions, cultural field trips, and more.

Seymour Frankel, a long-time Friend and former Board member shares his sentiment, "I love all kinds of performance - symphony, dance, jazz, and Broadway, and the Center offers the most comprehensive and diversified programs in the region." Plus, Seymour adds, " I know that ticket revenues alone cover only a portion of the costs of presenting great artists. Gifts from Friends help make up the difference."

Become a Friend during this special 25th anniversary season. Help us ensure the Fine Arts Center's high level of programming and community outreach programs. Call us for more information at 413-545-3671 and check out our Friend's website.

We look forward to welcoming you as our Friend.
