Giving: Friends Program

Stanford Lively Arts’ Partners are committed to the culture of imagination, innovation and collaboration that the performing arts bring to Stanford University. Your donations make it possible for artists to perform in the intimate setting of a student dorm, give a lecture at Cantor, and share their inspirations and art forms with the underprivileged members of our community. Your support allows faculty to integrate artists’ visits into their coursework and classrooms where student can learn from the artists firsthand. Your investment in Lively Arts ensures the vitality of our mission and our contribution to the vision of the University to more fully integrate the arts in all aspects of our lives and culture.
