Individual Giving

“We believe the cultural center will help in bringing out the true individual.”


When Herman and Ellnora Krannert decided to establish Krannert Center, they believed that not enough importance was being given to artistic pursuits. Their vision of integrating the arts into the fabric of everyone’s life endures through the expansive range of experiences here: formative moments for tomorrow’s global leaders, performances that comfort and transform, opportunities to create and enjoy groundbreaking work, engagement activities that offer self-discovery and hope, architectural treasures to delight the senses, and remarkable moments to foster life-long memories.
