Support

University of Florida Performing Arts would not be possible without the generous support of individuals and business from our community. Find out how your support impacts UFPA, the community, and you!

Priceless Experience

More than just entertainment, a live performance has the power to transform the audience. Commissioning and mounting new works allow innovative artists to create and share a new experience with your community.

Broadening Horizons

The greatest value of the arts is the ability to build bridges across generations and cultures. You have the opportunity to enrich your life, both personally and professionally, by experiencing the impact of arts in your community.

Economic Impact

University of Florida Performing Arts enriches Alachua County both culturally and financially. Performers, artists’ management and out-of-town production and technical crew utilize over 1,500 room nights in local hotels throughout the season. An average of 19% of our audience resides outside of Alachua County resulting in over $1 million of visitor impact. Local patrons also fuel the economy in that most eat dinner in a restaurant prior to the performance or have a drink or dessert afterward.

Arts for Future Generations

Your investment today inspires tomorrow’s artists. Thousands of students experience the magic of the arts during free school day performances. Master classes and residencies offer students the opportunity to work one-on-one with artists.
