Your Investment. Their Future.

Community investment is what made the Lafon Arts Center possible — and it’s what continues to fuel its mission. Our sponsors ensure that every St. Charles Parish Public Schools student has access to world-class arts education, professional performances, and hands-on creative experiences.

And support doesn’t just put a logo on a program. It puts instruments in students’ hands, visiting artists on our stages, and unforgettable arts experiences within reach for families across the parish.

Why Become a Sponsor?

The Dr. Rodney R. Lafon Performing Arts Center is a premier, world-class facility that magnifies arts education and elevates the cultural life of St. Charles Parish. Here, national and international touring artists share the same stages and studios as our students — creating a powerful connection between professional excellence and local opportunity. This is a partnership that supports both your business goals and the future of arts education. As a sponsor, your organization:

  • Aligns its brand with education, creativity, and community impact
  • Reaches a highly engaged audience of families, educators, community leaders, and students
  • Helps sustain innovative programs like Artsperience and Satellite Center courses in dance, digital media, theatre, broadcasting, and more
