How to give to the Lively Arts online

Many people, organizations, groups, and businesses made the 2011–2012 season of Ovations! possible.

The IUP Performing Arts Center, opened in September 2008, is a truly grand space on the IUP campus. With your contribution that includes an engraved plaque on a seat, thousands of patrons who visit Fisher Auditorium throughout the many years to come will clearly see that name and the support it represents.

This opportunity, specially designed for organizations and small businesses, is available for most Lively Arts events including Ovations! and, through special arrangement, for Theater-by-the-Grove, Dance Theater, Sound Progressions, University Museum, and Kipp Gallery.

Here are some examples of what we are able to provide to businesses and corporations who wish to sponsor either a specific event or series of events. All benefits are suggestions, and can be adapted so that it best meets the needs of the sponsor.

By becoming a charter member of the Premiere Club, you will assist the Lively Arts in presenting IUP’s premiere performing arts series, Ovations!, thereby showing your support for the cultural health of our region.

A variety of opportunities exist for contributing to the Lively Arts at IUP. We invite you to look at the Premiere Club for individuals contributing from $100 up to $5,000 and above. We also provide special opportunities for businesses and corporations who wish to sponsor certain major performances over the year.

The Helwig Distinguished Artist Endowment was established in 1987 by Florence Lattimer Helwig in memory of her late husband.
