Donor Recognition: Individual Donors
Donors make it possible for the community to experience the performing arts in deep and profound ways. Their gifts have undeniable impact: supporting the Center's life-changing programs, providing unparalleled growth opportunities for students and supporting artists in creating and sharing their work. The Clarice Smith Center wishes to thank all of our donors for keeping the momentum going.
YOUR SUPPORT TRULY MAKES A DIFFERENCE.
The Clarice Smith Performing Arts Center would like to thank its Center Circle donors: individuals and organizations who support the performing arts at the University of Maryland, which includes the School of Music, School of Theatre, Dance, and Performance Studies, Michelle Smith Performing Arts Library and the Center’s Visiting Artist Program.
Maryland Society
The Maryland Society acknowledges individuals and families who have made lifetime contributions of $100,000 or more to the University of Maryland. We would like to recognize and extend our gratitude to those members who have so generously invested in the performing arts at this level and beyond!† deceased
