The Fisher Center is pleased to announce its newly enhanced membership program, "Friends of the Fisher Center," designed to give donors the opportunity to support their favorite program with a "behind the scenes look" at Fisher Center presentations, as well as access to other exclusive special events and services throughout the year, created for patrons. In only four years Fisher Center programs have flourished, but our continued success and our ability to continue bringing world-class performing arts to the Hudson Valley relies heavily on individuals such as you.

In exchange for your generosity, you may be entitled to the additional benefits, according to the program you select, either Bard SummerScape or the Bard Music Festival

Additionally, there still remain several Naming Opportunities within the Fisher Center. For as little as $1,000 you can make your appreciation for the arts tangible by lending your name to an individual seat. Many other possibilities exist, including the naming rights of Theater Two.

For more information on how you or your company can support the Fisher Center and its programs, or if you are interesting in naming opportunities, please feel free to contact Stephen Millikin at 845-758-7926, or via e-mail at millikin@bard.edu with any questions you may have.
