Rendering of the Take a Giant Step installation in the new Education and Rehearsal Wing
Add Your Name to Support Young Artists
You can support the work of future artists and arts educators by participating in “Take a Giant Step.” Your gift will be marked with the name of your choice on this beautiful new artistic installation inspired by the jazz master work “Giant Steps” by John Coltrane. This stunning work can be found in the Hylton Center Education and Rehearsal Wing. Finished in 2019, the new Wing completes the footprint for the Hylton Performing Arts Center, with a design inspired by nearly a decade of performance and programming experience.
By “Taking a Giant Step,” you will make an indelible mark on the future of arts education in our region. Your support will enable the Hylton Center to fully facilitate the entire life-cycle of artistic creation, including:
- Bringing performing arts classes and lessons to the Hylton Center through a new partnership with the Mason Community Arts Academy
- Providing space for collegiate-level arts education through programs such as Mason’s Vocal Studies and Opera Program
- Supporting the work of the Arts Alliance — community arts organizations who call the Hylton Center their artistic home
…and much more!
