Welcome to East Central College’s Fine & Performing Arts program, a cultural resource dedicated to presenting, developing, and advancing the best in performing arts and arts education. Through the years, the Patrons of the Arts program has provided funds for hundreds of cultural experiences for thousands of students and community members. This season we will present world-class artists along with phenomenal student performances to engage and inspire you. All of this would not be possible without ECC’s Fine and Performing Arts faculty, staff, and the support of the Patrons of the Arts.
