Support the Center
Together we make art happen!
Support the Center for the Arts at Virginia Tech as we continue setting the stage for the arts in our community. Now, more than ever, we need the arts to lift us up and bring us together. Artists, too, need the support of presenters and audiences to keep their work alive and relevant, and to ensure we all can experience great live performance and visual arts experiences for years to come.
Donations help bring world renowned artists to our stage, support the creation of new works, and provide unforgettable engagement experiences beyond the stage.
The names of donors making any gift by June 30, 2026 will be recognized in the center's 2026-2027 season programs. We appreciate your friendship and loyalty!
"The center has created an intersection that brings the university, the region, all generations, all cultures, artists, and lovers of the arts – performing and visual – together in community. One that enriches my life, invites me to engage at all levels, and expands my understanding of the world. To have this world-class center almost on my doorstep is an amazing, unmatched gift!"
