The arts are a vital part of education, and North Carolina State University
recognizes the importance of fostering arts programs—both for our students
and for the larger community.
Recognized at both the state level and nationally for their excellence, our visual and performing arts programs are a cultural treasure on our campus and within our community. In fact, ARTS NC STATE is part of a non-profit culture industry that directly contributes to the economic health and quality of life in the Research Triangle and North Carolina.
At this pivotal time in the life of the arts on our campus, we ask our community of friends to join us in making an investment in ARTS NC STATE. Our shared goal is to enrich he experience of students and faculty, expand the cultural resources for the entire University and surrounding community and enhance the physical environments in which the arts are created, performed and exhibited.
ARTS NC STATE programs receive minimal state appropriated support and rely heavily on ticket revenues and student fees. You can play a vital part in this transformation by helping us build a healthy endowment, improved aging facilities and provide annual support for our outstanding programs.
Thanks to the generous support of the Titmus Family, renovations in the main theatre of Thompson Hall, now known as the Titmus Theatre (shown in the above photo), are stunning.
