Why Donate to the
Friends help ensure world-class performing arts are available in the KU and Lawrence communities. The Lied Center is the place to see the world’s top artists. This season, our stage will be home to stars from Austria, Brazil, Italy, New Zealand, Japan, Canada, China and from New York to Los Angeles. Your donation helps keep ticket prices affordable. By offsetting ticket costs, Friends help make the performing arts accessible to the people of Kansas. Did you know that ticket sales provide less than 40% of the funding needed to bring world-class artists to Lawrence? Friends help the next generation of performing arts lovers experience the best in children’s programming for free. This year, nearly 6,000 children in our community will experience the transformative power of the arts during school-only performances thanks, in part, to Friends donations. We spoil our Friends! Join the nearly 1,000 community members who donate to the Friends of the Lied and you will receive: – Ticket discounts and rewards – Priority seating – Ticket exchange privileges – Invitations to exclusive events – Recognition and more
