Support Center for the Arts
Center for the Arts is a reflection of generations of creativity and generosity in Jackson Hole. As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, we depend on the support of donors to fulfill our mission: Connect our creative community by providing a dedicated campus, supporting exceptional programming, and nurturing a collaborative spirit.
Each year, we must raise about $2 million to sustain our operations and reduce costs for the many nonprofit residents, artists, and cultural organizations who rely on The Center.
Your donations ensure that our valley has a dedicated space to connect, create, imagine, and sensorily experience an essential part of life. Donate today to keep art, connection, and cultural vibrancy at the heart of Jackson Hole.
Donors who contribute $5,000 or more annually receive access to presale opportunities for Center Presents events.
