Donor Testimonials

“The Columbia Festival of the Arts is a wonderful annual community two-week enterprise. The coordinators strive to schedule a diversified series of entertainment events—of interest to older and younger folks, male and female, those who are hype and those sedate—of dances, acrobatics, musical performances, lectures, movies, and others. You need to see the schedule when it comes out in the spring. Whether you attend any events/performances or not, this festival is worthy of your support as a member of the community. To paraphrase Ben Franklin: we should hang together as a community, rather than hanging separately.”

- Hank Eigles

"The Columbia Festival of the Arts brings world-class entertainment to our own backyard, and experiencing those performances in the intimacy of the Rouse Theater is to be savored and remembered."
