The ENCORE! program is funded in part by the generous donations of individuals, corporations, foundations, and our Angels in the Wings, who believe in the value of performing arts in education. These programs are independent from the budget of the Morrison Center for the Performing Arts, which is a 501 (c)(3) organization established to operate for the benefit of the community and resident arts organizations. Our commitment to present education programs for schools, students and teachers requires annual funding. To make a donation to ENCORE! Educational Programs, please contact our staff at 208-426-1034.
Special thanks for this season success goes to the Morrison Center Arts Fund Inc.., the Morrison Center Volunteers and numerous private individuals for their generous support.
