Support ArtsWinthrop on the Day of Giving

 

For over a century, the College of Visual and Performing Arts has been a cornerstone of Winthrop’s commitment to the arts, offering exceptional programs in studio art, art history, design, music, theatre, dance, and arts education. Your support helps provide student scholarships and student activities and travel, state-of-the-art industry-standard facilities and equipment, and bring creativity to life through more than 150 public exhibitions and performances. These contributions ensure our students have access to the tools, spaces, and opportunities they need to thrive artistically, academically, and professionally.

 


This Day of giving, your impact goes even further!
