Be the Catalyst Behind Every Film, Every Book, Every Performance, Every Smile.

The Cultural Arts Circle allows donors to support all of the J’s cultural arts programs with one bundled sponsorship gift. When you bundle your giving, you expand both your sponsorship benefits and the positive change your generosity creates. Whether our patrons connect through film, literature, or theatre, your support makes those moments possible – and felt throughout our entire community.
