Deepen your relationship with the Quick Center!

Your support as a Patron will help usher the Quick into a new era of creativity and artistic exploration for the benefit of audiences of all backgrounds and ages. Patron Program members provide significant support for the Quick Center season and signature programs, including our performances, Open VISIONS Forum, the Arts for All initiative, and our Fellowship in the Arts program.

As a Patron, you will count yourself among a community of passionate supporters of the Quick who ardently believe in the power and importance of arts and culture in our society. With a gift of $5,000 or more, you can enjoy a unique relationship with the Quick, receiving benefits that include personalized ticket reservations, exclusive access to artists and rehearsals, pre- and post-event VIP receptions and dinners, and behind-the-scenes events.

For more information and to join today, email Marie-Laure Kugel, Director of Development, Fairfield Arts, at mkugel@fairfield.edu.

The Quick Center relies on the generous philanthropic support of patrons like you to provide robust, engaging performances and community programming.

There are many effective ways to offer your charitable support to the Quick:

• online, by phone, or by mail
• gifts of cash, stock, property, or in-kind gifts
• a corporate matching gift
• a planned gift of a bequest, life insurance, trust, or annuity

Make a gift for general support or designate it to one of the below campaigns.

We offer you a special opportunity to leave your mark at the Quick and “take a seat” in our theatre. With your charitable contribution of $500 or more, you can designate a seat in honor or in memory of a friend or family member. To recognize your gift, we'll place a plaque on one of our theatre seats and send a card to the person you're honoring or family of the person you are remembering.

The Quick Center Arts Education and Outreach Fund was established in 2015 to ensure support for meaningful educational programming to serve the broader community. The fund supports:

• Our School Matinee Series, offering live theatre experiences to grades pre-k through 12, with free tickets for students in underserved communities
• Transportation programs providing theatre access for youth and families from neighboring communities and schools
• Artist-in-residence programs to bring teaching artists to lead masterclasses and workshops with area schools and community groups
• Summer camp scholarships for underserved youth to experience hands-on creativity and arts learning
• Our Quick Center Arts Incubator Program which provides high caliber arts education programming while offering performing artists the time and space to create work
