The Butler Arts & Events Center is dedicated to meaningful experiences in and through the arts. Our mission is to bring people together to celebrate community. It is only with support from our patrons that we’re able to continue this mission forward. Please consider supporting the Butler Arts & Events Center in one of two areas, the BAEC Presents Fund, or the BAEC Education Fund.
Butler Arts & Events Center Presents Gift Fund
The Butler Arts & Events Center (BAEC) is Central Indiana’s premiere home for diverse performing arts programming and education on the beautiful campus of Butler University. Its venues welcome more than 300,000 visitors annually, with 35,000 from the student matinee series. The BAEC Presents Fund helps the BAEC operate
and continue to serve the greater Indianapolis area. Contributions to this fund help us provide free performances to the public including the JCA Signature Series, the Visiting Writer Series, and livestreams available through the Flyrail. This fund also helps the BAEC continue to renovate, update, and expand, ensuring that we are able to serve our community’s ever-changing needs.

Butler Arts & Events Center Education Gift Fund
The BAEC provides a wide variety of shows, camps, and programming for the youth of Indiana. The BAEC Education Fund provides support to a variety of camps annually, serving thousands of students from all around the state. Since 1991 the BAEC Student Matinee Series has created opportunities for more than 1 million students, teachers and guests to attend live curriculum-based, culturally diverse, and age appropriate performances.

The Butler Arts & Events Center is proud to be a part of the local arts & entertainment community and like all venues and arts organizations, we rely on both philanthropic gifts and ticket sales to maintain the operation of our facilities and programming.
Thank you for your support of the BAEC and the programming we bring to our community. Whether you choose to give to the BAEC Education Fund that supports continued learning for children and young adults on campus, the BAEC Presents Fund that supports the diverse programming we bring each year, or purchase tickets to see a show, you’re signaling your appreciation for the arts in our community. We are so grateful for your generosity!
