Thalian Hall Center for the Performing Arts received a $3 million award from the New Hanover Community Endowment. This extraordinary contribution represents a profound investment in the arts as an economic driver in our community.

For over 167 years, Thalian Hall has been the cornerstone of artistic presentation, civic expression, and community engagement in our region. The support from The Endowment will allow us to preserve our historic theatre, create new performance spaces, begin new institutes for artistic and entrepreneurial education, expand programming, and continue providing world-class performances and community events for generations to come.

On behalf of the board, staff, and the countless artists and audiences who bring the Hall to life, we extend our heartfelt thanks to The Endowment for this transformational gift. Together, we will ensure that the arts continue to inspire, unite, and enrich the lives of everyone in New Hanover County and the surrounding areas.

Thank you, New Hanover Community Endowment, for your remarkable commitment to the arts and to the future of Thalian Hall.
