GPAC’s Hearts for the Arts program makes live performance accessible to young audiences and community organizations
by providing subsidized tickets for students and eligible nonprofits. With your support,
we’re able to welcome more children into the theater — many for the very first time
— and spark a lifelong connection to the arts. Every gift helps break down barriers
and ensures that all students in our region can experience the magic, inspiration
and educational value of live performance.
Through generous support for scholarships, academic programming and live performances,
the Friends of GPAC help bring world-class artists to UNC Pembroke and enrich the

and engagement in Southeastern North Carolina.
