Doudna Fine Arts Center

Friends of the Doudna

After Old Main, the Doudna Fine Arts Center is the most iconic building on the EIU campus. Home to the School of the Arts (the departments of Art + Design, Music, and Theatre) and the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences Dean's Office, the building you see today is the result of a massive expansion and renovation of the old arts building by renowned architect Antoine Predock in 2008. From the soaring sights of the Concourse to the many performance venues to being the home of the many faculty members and students of the School of the Arts, the Doudna is a lively space at all times, but no more than when we can feature performances that range from student recitals to world-class established artists, and collaborate with the Tarble Arts Center to bring the visual arts to life.

We welcome your participation in the continued excellence of this fine institution! Your annual support will sustain the many performance spaces, the sometimes mysterious backstage, and the always awe-inspiring costume shop, and serve the infrastructure needs of our performing arts faculty, staff, and students.

We have six levels of support from which you may select; each level brings its own rewards - and be assured that we welcome and cherish any level of support!
