The UT Tyler Cowan Center looks forward to its 28th season of bringing live performances to the East Texas region! The support received every year from donations made to the Cowan Center Circle help support our venue through charitable giving. Sustaining this beacon of creativity requires the collective support of individuals like you who share our vision for a vibrant cultural landscape. With your membership, we continue to enhance the center with technical upgrades and aesthetic refinishes, as well as bringing high caliber artists for the community to experience. In addition, we have outreach programs that make the arts accessible to underserved communities, so that they may enjoy transformative experiences through the power of live performance.
Review the table below and choose the level of support that’s right for you. Out of gratitude, all levels of Circle membership have benefits, detailed below. Your donation is considered tax-deductible for IRS purposes, less the monetary value of benefits. Together, let’s ensure that the stage remains a vibrant platform for creativity, connection, and celebration!
If you have been a Cowan Center Circle member in the past, we thank you and welcome you back this season! If you want to be a member for the first time, we look forward to getting to know you!

HEARTS FOR THE ARTS
Hearts for the Arts is a Cowan Center program designed to facilitate the attendance of a variety of individuals and groups, who would otherwise not be able to share in the joy of live performance, including veterans, shut-ins, first-time theatregoers, youth groups, and other organizations with similar outreach goals. The motivation behind this program is our belief that the arts inspire, heal, and uplift. We believe that immersion in live experiences at a performing arts center makes a significant difference in the lives of our community members. We love this program and hope you love it, too. Please consider adding some support on the order form. All levels of giving change lives!
