DILLARDCENTER FOR

THE ARTSMEDIA KIT

DCA: Dillard Center for the Arts is Broward County School’s exclusive high school magnet program for the visual and performing arts. Our mission is to offer preparation for higher education and professions in the arts by providing a diversified curriculum not available at the traditional high school, while creating an environment conducive for artistic growth and development for bright and talented high school students residing in Broward County. Less than 30 percent of our funding comes from ticket sales, yet a typical musical production at Dillard Center for the Arts costs $12,000 to produce. In order to continue our mission to provide extra ordinary performance opportunities for the young artist of tomorrow while providing quality entertainment to the Fort Lauderdale arts community, we count on sponsors like you. Corporate/Business and community support is invaluable to our program, as it provides the future artist of tomorrow the opportunity to gain the types of extra ordinary experiences that students with a deep

passion for studying at a Visual & Performing Arts Magnet school should receive. Cash and in-kind support from sponsors helps

to bridge the gap between what the public school system can provide and the actual resources

our students need to be prepared for success either in college or in

the professional world.
