FRIENDS and CHAIRMAN'S CIRCLE PROGRAMS

Friends and Chairman's Circle are annual giving programs that sustain our wide-ranging artistic work that inspires, educates, and connects us. Join the Friends program today with a gift of $75 or more, or the Chairman’s Circle of our leadership supporters with a gift of $2,500 or more, and partner with us to bring Washington Performing Arts’ mission to life and to deepen your connection with other arts lovers.

With our pivot to delivering artistic contents digitally in the months ahead, we are working to create new Friends benefit offerings—in light of COVID-19—that will complement our digital experiences and continue to deepen connection and to foster the warm welcome and community that is core to Washington Performing Arts.

 

Join the Friends and Chairman's Circle today and start enjoying benefits such as:

Engage with artists featured in our Home Delivery Plus, Mars Arts D.C., and education programs at Friends-only online events

Participate in interactive, real-time events, such as panel discussions, listening parties, and masterclasses on our digital platform

Take advantage of offerings and discounts offered to WPA Friends by local businesses that will complement your digital experience while giving you a chance to support our community

And more to come!
