The Arts Sustain Us

We believe in the power of the arts to entertain, educate, energize and change lives. For more
than 40 years, Iowa State University and central Iowans have experienced the magic of the arts at Stephens Auditorium. Professional performers from across the globe help to broaden the cultural perspective of Iowans and enhance the education offered at Iowa State University.

Because ticket sales cover only 63% of performance costs, the Performing Arts Fund bridges the gap between expenses and revenues. Additional funding from sponsors and grants helps fund the arts, but with declining state support, we can’t do it without your gift. Your family, neighbors, students and friends deserve the chance to see great performances at Stephens Auditorium.

	Your Gift...   • Sustains the excellence of the arts at Stephens Auditorium   • Brings the wonder of music and theater to new audiences   • Strengthens the cultural life of Ames and surrounding areas   • Supports affordable ticket prices for all
Bring the joy of the arts to new audiences!
