What do Friends of the Lied help to support?
The Lied Center’s Arts Education programs
How do the arts benefit children?

• Arts stimulate children's learning ability and engage a child intellectually, emotionally, and physiologically
• Children who take music classes achieve better scores on standardized test
• Arts improve understanding of geometric forms
• Arts enhance children’s sense of self-esteem, especially high-risk youth, by providing a supportive environment where they can take risks and succeed
• Arts, especially dance, better prepare students for jobs in the 21st century by expanding creativity and imagination

What benefits do Friends of the Lied enjoy?
Intermezzo: During intermission of each Lied Season performance, Friends of the Lied at the Patron level and Above are invited to join together in the Stephens Atrium for Intermezzo, a special wine reception for our high level donors.
