Name a Seat

With naming gifts, you can invest in the arts, the campus, and the community by naming a room or a seat in one of our venues. Naming opportunities give you the chance to permanently honor a loved one or show your commitment to the Center.

Join our "Fill The Seats" campaign with a gift of $1,500, and assure a permanent place with us. A plaque with your name, or the name of the individual you wish to honor, will be placed on a seat in recognition of your dedication. You can name a seat in the Elsie and Marvin Dekelboum Concert Hall, the Joseph and Alma Gildenhorn Recital Hall, or the Ina and Jack Kay Theatre.

“I feel part of the Center; I've become very attached to it over the years. I feel good being asked to identify with the university, and I will continue giving my support. The Center is one of the best-kept secrets around, and every year more people are discovering all the great things we have to offer.”
