Ole Miss Giving Day

The Gertrude C. Ford Center for the Performing Arts is a cultural treasure to be enjoyed and supported! With an assortment of Broadway shows, concerts, ballet and more, the Ford Center is the premier entertainment venue in our area. 

Today, you can help ensure that the Ford Center is able to continue providing high-quality performances for all ages throughout the year. 

The Ford Center is worthy of your investments. Consider:

• Each year, the curtain rises on a wide variety of high-quality performances chosen to enchant and delight audiences.
• The 2018-2019 season highlighted outstanding shows as the national tours of “The Wizard of Oz” and “Jersey Boys,” Moscow Ballet’s “Great Russian Nutcracker.”
• The travel website Expedia included Oxford, Mississippi, in its list of America’s Most Artistic Towns. The magnificent Ford Center was mentioned along with the popular Oxford Conference for the Book, Oxford Art Crawl and Double Decker Festival.
• Celebrating the Arts campaign is focused on ensuring the best performances each season. A solid bronze grove of trees reflecting donors’ support will be permanently installed in the lobby. Various leaves, acorns or boughs are available for purchase and will be engraved with donors’ names.
• Private funding bridges the gap of ticket revenue and the cost of bringing stellar programming to the state and region.

Giving Day is the perfect time to plant a seed and watch it grow! Help the Gertrude C. Ford Center for the Performing Arts grow as we dream bigger, work harder and create a flourishing donor tree. This is an all-hands-on-deck effort.

Please make a gift! Thank you!
