Your Gifts Make a Difference
For nearly 40 years, the Performing Arts Series at Stephens Auditorium has presented a diverse selection of professional performers from around the world to entertain and develop the cultural outlook of Iowans and enhance the educational environment of Iowa State University.

While these programs succeed in broadening our global perspective, oftentimes they do not succeed financially. Without your private support, we would be unable to bring such a diverse offering of performances to the stage at Stephens and ticket prices would increase, since ticket sales cover only 65% of the cost of presenting the Performing Arts Series.

The Performing Arts Fund at Stephens Auditorium was created to help bridge the gap between expenses and revenues.

Here’s an example of how your money is working to bring the arts to Stephens Auditorium:
