Texas Inner Circle members enjoy exclusive benefits and opportunities like free parking, unlimited access to the members-only lounge, invitations to private events, and more! While the perks are great, the real benefit is the support your tax-deductible contribution provides for great performances by world-renown artists, exciting opportunities for students of all ages and special engagements to gain a deeper understanding of the arts.
Support Our Work
Every donation makes a difference. We believe the arts are an essential part of a well-rounded education. With your support we can continue to provide affordable, or even free access to educational activities and live performance experiences to students and community members in Central Texas, and employment opportunities to UT students to groom the next generation of arts professionals. Your support matters.
Plans for educational opportunities are still evolving. Fill out this interest form for the latest news and to make requests.
