Overview
The Harris Center for the Arts supports the community by donating tickets to be used in the fundraising efforts of community non-profit organizations. Due to the high number of requests we receive each year, and the limited number of tickets that are available for donation, we are not able to fulfill every request that comes to us. You will receive notification by mail regarding the status of your request.
If your request is approved, a ticket voucher for tickets to a select performance will be mailed to your organization. The procedure for redemption will be listed on the voucher. The organization is responsible for notifying the recipient of the voucher of these redemption procedures. The Harris Center is not responsible for lost or stolen vouchers.
Application Process
The application process for ticket donations has been suspended during the temporary closure of the Harris Center. The expiration date for all outstanding ticket donation certificates will be extended to one year following the date of the Center reopening. For more information, see Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ).
