Building a Stronger Future for Cal Poly Arts

Established in 1985, Cal Poly Arts has served as a vibrant cultural force on the Central Coast, presenting exceptional performing arts experiences to the public. The 1996 opening of the Performing Arts Center marked a bold new chapter, greatly expanding the scope and diversity of our programming. 

Since day one, the continued support of our generous donors has been the backbone of our success. This endowment will build a lasting and solid foundation for Cal Poly Arts - raising $2.5 million to ensure $100,000 in annual program support - allowing Cal Poly Arts to safeguard our mission, expand community engagement, and sustain artistic excellence for generations to come.

Leadership Giving: 

We proudly recognize the visionary donors whose generosity is helping shape the future of the arts on the Central Coast.
