new theatre, music and film from around the globe.

Help Andy Warhol help Legion Arts
To match a $50,000 grant from the Andy Warhol
Foundation for the Visual Arts in New York, Legion Arts needs to raise
$50,000 in local and other donations this spring. These
donors have already contributed the
first $15,000.
You can join them and help us move us toward our goal with your gift
of $35, $60, $150 or more. Simply click the gray Donate Now
button on the left of your screen. It's simple, safe and secure.
And you'll have our thanks.
Get the match
You may be able to double your gift
to Legion Arts if your employer matches charitable
contributions made by employees. Click here for a partial list of local and
national firms that do.

Our top 200
For years now, Legion Arts co-director Mel Andringa
has been photographing the performers who visit CSPS, usually in the
galleries following the show, and usually in front of an art work that
the performer chooses.
You can now see several hundred of
those images at the online site
Flickr. Think of it as our Top 200
List: a slightly random, absolutely diverse, and quite amazing record
of the musical, theatrical and artistic talent that's been good enough
to visit CSPS over the years.
You can view the photos
here.
Spread the word
Are you a realtor, arts-related business, tourist
attraction, cultural venue, or member of a club or association?
Or maybe you're just a fan who'd like to let people know about Legion
Arts?
Well, we have a new rack card that serves as an excellent all-purpose
introduction. Pick up a handful next time you're at CSPS, or
call us and we'll send you a stack.
