Support Us
Financial contributions are essential to our ability to attract outstanding performances and exhibits to The Clayton Center for the Arts. Please consider a gift to support our programming and become a valued patron. Every gift matters!
How you're making a difference
General Donations
Your gift supports the Clayton Center’s mission to provide exceptional opportunities for the lifelong expression and appreciation of the arts. As a non-profit performing and fine arts organization, revenues from ticket sales and facility rentals cover only a portion of CCA’s annual operating expenses. The gap is closed with contributions from arts patrons like you. You can help strengthen our mission and keep the arts alive by making a tax-deductible gift. All contributions, regardless of size, make a difference!
Patrons Circle
The Patrons Circle is a group of patrons who contribute $500 or more in a single year to support programming. Patrons Circle members provide a financial margin of excellence that enables the Clayton Center to offer world-class performances and exhibits to the community. Members receive exclusive benefits and special recognition.
Patrons Circle memberships are based on the Center’s fiscal year (June 1-May 31) and may be secured with a single gift or with multiple gifts. A monthly payment option also is offered.
Volunteer
Are you passionate about the arts and looking for a way to get involved in your community? Become a Volunteer Usher at the Clayton Center for the Arts! Our Volunteer Ushers are essential members of our team, often serving as the first welcoming face patrons see when they arrive. Alongside our Front of House staff, you’ll play a vital role in ensuring our guests’ comfort, safety, and enjoyment at every performance.
