Impacting Northern Michigan by...

Supporting the Arts

Annual Fund donations spread the joy of the performing arts throughout the region, lowering ticket prices and creating new opportunities for collaborations with area schools and neighboring arts organizations.

Enriching Arts Education

Your gift provides greater opportunities in the arts for area youth and supports educational programs such as Next Gen and the Dorothy Gerber Strings programs.

Creating greater access to the arts, especially for children, highlights and strengthens connections between the Center and our Northern Michigan community.

Strengthening the Region’s Economy

The Center brightens Northern Michigan’s quality of life, drawing new residents and supporting cultural tourism—a $10 million impact each year!

The Center adds another layer to what we love about Northern Michigan and we’re proud to play even a small part in making it happen.

Being able to meet new friends who share our love for the performing arts contributed to our decision to build a home in the area, and we are proud to support this artistic opportunity for others to enjoy, too.
