Want a closer look at the artists and performances you’ve come to love at the Center? We invite you to join the Friends of the Center for the Arts and enjoy access to interact with the artists. The Friends sponsor the Pre-Performance Discussions, which are open to all ticketholders and are led by local experts and sometimes the artists themselves. But, did you know that the Friends also host five Artists in Conversation events?  
 
These lively discussions provide members of the Contributor level or higher ($150+) with a special, behind-the-scenes look of the Great Performances at Mason season and the new Family Series. Hosted by guest artists and members of Mason's faculty, these events are sure to enlighten your experience as an audience member.
