Pensacola’s world-class performing arts organizations add to the rich cultural
fabric of our city. Whether on stage or out in the community, these beloved non-profits delight and inspire thousands each year. With recent budget cuts, these organizations face a combined loss of more than $1.2 million in state funding. Now, more than ever, they need our support.
“There are three important ways you could help us this spring, including coming to an event and bringing a friend, making a financial donation to support an arts not for profit organization that serves a mission you believe in, and encouraging your elected officials to support the arts at the local, state, and national levels.” - Bret Barrow, Executive Director, Pensacola Symphony Orchestra
Seeing a performance on your next night out is a fun and easy way to patronize the arts. Catch one of the final shows of the season, like Ballet Pensacola’s Don Quixote (April 4-6) or the Choral Society of Pensacola’s Amazing Grace (May 17). If you like what you see, treat your future self to a ticket subscription for next season.
Local organizations put their immense talent on full display at incredibly creative, one-of-a-kind special events throughout the year. Be one of the first to enjoy Pensacola’s new rooftop event space at Ballet Pensacola’s Sangria at Sunset on March 29th. Cut loose with the Pensacola Symphony Orchestra at a rousing Jazz Brunch in support of education programs on April 6th. Later in the month, party with the sublime and the strange at the Pensacola Little Theatre’s annual Cabaret fundraiser on April 12th.
These groups don’t just entertain, they actively invest in our community through education. Budding talents of all ages can learn through classes, camps, and workshops taught by professional artists. Ballet Pensacola, the Pensacola Opera, and the Pensacola Little Theatre all offer summer camps and programs that bolster students’ confidence and creativity through the arts.
These performing arts organizations are invaluable to our dynamic city. Let’s rally behind them with our time, money, and attention to ensure that they can continue to educate and entertain Pensacola for many years to come
