Since 1975, the Givens Performing Arts Center has invested a commitment of bringing the best of the performing arts to the southeast region of North Carolina. Making your performing arts center work requires the work, energy and talents of many, including a special group - The Friends of GPAC. You can join this elite group and help to ensure the arts continue. As a Friend, you will be entitled to special benefits, as listed below. Please help us to continue to grow by giving!

You can join the Friends of GPAC online today! Go to uncp.edu/give and find the drop down menu for Givens Performing Arts Center or call the GPAC team at 910.521.6361 for donation assistance.
