![]() Join The Circle Of FriendsThe Circle of Friends is the community support organization of the Clark State Performing Arts Center. Membership is open to everyone. The Circle of Friends assists the Center in providing quality performances in a first class facility to a wide regional audience. Members enjoy a "behind-the-scenes" look at the Center while reaping special benefits and knowing that they are helping to preserve the area's cultural heritage.
Since its inception in 1996, the Circle of Friends has raised over $600,000 through its annual campaign and special event fundraisers. These funds have been used to grow an endowment to ensure the Performing Arts Center's long-term viability and to support Project Jericho, the Center's arts program for at-risk youth. Most recently, the Friends purchased two plasma screens for the Davidson Grand Lobby and an additional screen for the Ticket Office.
