honor the chiarts legacy
Become a Scholar-Artist Legacy Sponsor
In lieu of our annual benefit, we are choosing to direct every possible dollar toward sustaining mission-critical conservatory programming through June 30, 2026. As the School prepares to transition to a district-managed Fine & Performing Arts High School on July 1, 2026, help us ensure a strong, uninterrupted finish to the school year for ChiArts scholar-artists.
We invite you to become a Scholar-Artist Legacy Sponsor or Supporter — honoring the transformative power of pre-professional arts training at ChiArts and supporting the students who embody that legacy today, especially the Class of 2026.
Whether you choose to sponsor at a leadership level or make a gift that is personally meaningful to you:100% of your support is directed toward student-centered conservatory programming this school year.
