We’re so grateful to the many generous people and companies who have signed on to support the Center’s wide range of arts and educational programming, from big-name concerts to classes and lectures to free events for schools to our Prism Project arts camp for youth with disabilities – and the list goes on.

 

Even if you missed this opportunity, you can still join us in continuing to bring these programs to the community. Learn more about the Center Celebration's impact, and visit TheCenterPresents.org/Donate to make a tax-deductible donation to the Center and its mission.
