The Chandler Cultural Foundation and its Board of Directors play a critical role in ensuring that the Chandler Center for the Arts achieves its mission making visual and live performance arts accessible to everyone in our community.
The full Chandler Cultural Foundation Board includes: Tom Carr, Lydia Gonzales, Darlene Heavlin, Pat Krueger, Jade Meskill, Barbara Myerson, Lorah Neville, Ana Regalado, Ernie Serrano, Jr. and Linda Yarborough.
Located in the historic downtown on the northwest corner of Arizona Avenue and Chandler Blvd, the Chandler Center for the Arts is Arizona’s leading collaborative arts institution dedicated to reaching out to audiences of all ages with the highest quality of artistic work to continuously inspire audiences and artists to dream, to discover, to create and celebrate.
The Chandler Center for the Arts serves as a creative driving force, educational resource, and economic engine of entertainment vitality in Chandler by making visual and live performance arts accessible to the entire population.
The Chandler Center for the Arts is jointly owned by the City of Chandler and the Chandler Unified School District. The Chandler Cultural Foundation was contracted in 1989 by the City of Chandler as a means to facilitate programming and fund development for the Chandler Center for the Arts.
As a nonprofit organization, the Center relies on a variety of funding sources to help underwrite internationally acclaimed artists, educate young audiences, create important community programs and maintain our remarkable facility. Ticket sales and other earned income do not completely cover the costs of the Center’s numerous programs and education offerings. Only support from individuals, corporations, foundations and our public partners can make these programs possible.
