Membership & Benefits
Strongly rooted in the college's commitment to enrich mind, body, and spirit, Friends of the Arts is dedicated to arts education and increasing visibility and support of the arts at Davidson College.
The generosity of Friends of the Arts members supports artists-in-residence, provides student music scholarships, and brings outstanding figures in music, theatre, and the visual arts to the campus for performances and exhibits.
