Every gift makes a story possible.
Ticket sales are a great way to support Opening Nights, but they don’t cover what it takes to bring world-class artists to Tallahassee or to hold the door open for those who otherwise couldn’t afford to walk through it.
That's where you come in.
Why It Matters
- 1The arts aren’t a luxury; they’re a public good, and your gift is what keeps them within reach for everyone in the Big Bend.
- 2Your support subsidizes student tickets and brings performances directly into K-12 classrooms, reaching over 4,200 students last season alone.
- 3Opening Nights has served as a bridge between FSU and Tallahassee since 1921. Your gift keeps that bridge open for the next generation.
