Igniting Charlotte's Creative Future

Become a Blume Innovator! 

This month Blumenthal Arts is raising money to tie educational experiences to cutting-edge immersive performance.

Blume Studios is redefining what live entertainment can be. It is immersive, high-tech, and transformative. As one of the most advanced immersive venues in the region, Blume Studios has become a destination for presenters from around the world, including Europe and Australia, who are actively seeking out Charlotte as a place to share their work. Experiences like Monopoly: Lifesized, The Magician’s Table, and In Pour Taste reflect a global creative movement and Blume Studios is at its center. Future offerings within Blume Studios can be directly tied to advancing education opportunities for students as additions to what they learn in their classrooms. 

In other words, these productions don’t just entertain. They open doors.

Blume Innovators is our newest fundraising initiative dedicated to transforming internationally acclaimed immersive experiences into meaningful educational opportunities for our community. Your support helps us develop curriculum resources, study guides, and learning tools that connect these events to real-world learning, extending their impact far beyond the walls of Blume Studios.

When Space Explorers: The Infinite arrived at Blume Studios, public support made it possible for more than 12,000 Charlotte-Mecklenburg sixth graders to attend at no cost. Our education team expanded that experience with a custom study guide connecting space exploration, science, and technology to classroom instruction, turning a virtual journey to the International Space Station into a lasting educational resource.

This is the kind of impact Blume Innovators make possible.

With your generosity, Blume Studios can continue attracting world-class immersive work, expanding access to innovative learning experiences, supporting educators with meaningful tools, and inspiring the next generation of thinkers, creators, and innovators.

Become a Blume Innovator to help bring the world’s most exciting immersive experiences to Charlotte and create lasting educational impact.

Help sustain the vibrancy, quality, and diversity of our organization.

We are dedicated to keeping our community connected and making sure that the arts are accessible to ALL residents of the Charlotte/Mecklenburg area and beyond. To do this, we rely upon your support.

Please consider making a tax-deductible contribution to Blumenthal Arts. With your support we can deliver on our mission of enriching our community through the arts!

Other Strategies for Giving
 

• If you have a Donor Advised Fund, this is a perfect time to make a gift from your DAF where you have already placed funds with the specific intent of making future charitable contributions.
• For gifts of stock, please contact giving@blumenthalarts.org.
• If your employer has a Matching Gifts Program, check the guidelines to see if you might double your gift to Blumenthal Arts and other organizations you support. Some employers, like PNC, a generous sponsor of Blumenthal Arts, are doubling their matching dollars for employee giving during this time.
• Consider including a gift to Blumenthal Arts in your will, estate plan, or by beneficiary designation. With thoughtful estate planning, you can provide lasting support today for tomorrow's audiences as a member of our Legacy Society and continue to secure the future of Blumenthal Arts.

I encourage you to look at some of our programs and consider how your support will enrich the arts and our community. Join us by becoming a member or corporate partner today.
