Performance Underwriting
The performing arts add meaning to our lives. They awaken our creativity. They give us insight and teach us how to connect with others. The task of creating programming for the performing arts that entertains, enlightens, educates and inspires us is our challenge. By becoming a donor to the Performing Arts Fund, you demonstrate your commitment to the performing arts and make it possible for others to have the transformative moment only these experiences can provide.
Performance Underwriters are a select group of individuals who believe in the value and importance of the performing arts. These individuals make it possible for the Iowa State Center to fulfill its mission of presenting great performances, educating the young and the almost young, creating shared and memorable experiences and building community. Donors who contribute $2,500 or more have the option of choosing a performance and be listed as Performance Underwriter for the selected performance.
