Help us to continue our tradition of bringing superb entertainment and educational programs to the community while enjoying special benefits!

Encore and Inner Circle Member Benefits

From elegant events and special access to concierge services throughout the year, we are delighted to provide our Encore Society and Inner Circle donors with our most exclusive and creative opportunities to engage with the Ferguson Center for the Arts.

In addition to enjoying extraordinary privileges and unique opportunities, these special donors provide a vital source of support that enables us to present world-class performances, innovative programs, and enriching experiences. Their generosity helps elevate the quality of life in our community and ensures that the arts remain accessible to all. We look forward to celebrating the many ways your leadership contribution changes lives.
