Support the Academy:
Become a Member!

Every year, the Academy thrives with strong donor support. Academy Membership supports our Annual Fund, which is critical for our innovative workshops, educational programming, and other special projects that help support and inspire our community. As an Academy Member, your gift goes far beyond bridging the gap between budgetary expenses and revenue generated from ticket sales, which only covers approximately half of the funds involved in operating our theaters, classroom spaces, and galleries. Academy members make the difference. 

As Lynchburg’s center for the arts, culture, and community-building, we know how vital the arts is for our community. Art has the power to strengthen social connections, celebrate diversity, and transform the impossible into reality. It cultivates friendships, fosters unity among communities, and empowers individuals of all ages to be catalysts for positive change. But every great journey begins with a single spark, and as an Academy supporter, your Membership personally helps pave the way for a brighter, more vibrant future for all.

Academy members make the difference. We are Greater Lynchburg’s center for arts because of our donors–your support is essential. With your help, the Academy empowers and uplifts all individuals in our region through programs that encourage self-expression, thought, and engagement within a safe and creative space.
