Friends of the Arts


From the Easel to the Encore, From the Spotlight to the Screen
Your support fuels creativity in Art, Music, Theatre, and Mass Communications.
Piedmont University’s performing, visual, and media arts programs are among the best in the state, and we take pride in bringing joy, insight, and beauty to the lives of our students and the communities we serve. Through music, theatre, visual arts, and mass communications, our students and faculty work together to enrich lives, inspire wonder, and share stories that matter.
Thanks to generous supporters like you, we can continue building on this strong foundation and fulfill our mission to help people see the world differently—through the lens of art and the power of communication.
