Where art
belongs
to everyone.
In 2025, over 15,000 people walked through our doors across more than 100 events — plus 6,000 students experiencing the arts, many for the very first time. Your membership keeps the curtain rising.
When you give, you are not just supporting the arts — you are giving joy, education, community, and hope.
These moments are only possible because of you.
The Millwald is Southwest Virginia's revitalized cultural landmark — redefining what it means to be a performing arts company in a rural community. Ticket sales alone don't cover it. Your generosity does.
"The arts should belong to everyone in our community — not just those who can afford it. That's why your membership matters so deeply."
Every free school matinee, every veteran's ticket, every child who hears a live orchestra for the first time — these are the moments your gift makes possible.
Over 50 children experienced their very first symphony at Symphony Under the Stars — free of charge.
Free educational programming brought 6,000 students through our doors in a single year.
Elementary schoolers sang "This Land Is Your Land" in Spanish — experiences that last a lifetime.
"Support for Veterans and Vet Tix is held in the highest regard." — A Millwald veteran patron
Every dollar has a direct impact.
Here's what different giving levels make possible in our community.
Covers a student's ticket to a live performance — often their very first time in a theatre.
Underwrites a free school matinee spot, helping expand access across the region.
Funds a full educational workshop led by professional touring artists visiting Southwest Virginia.
The moments we're most proud of.
"Over 50 children saw their first symphony for free at Symphony Under the Stars — wonder you could see on their faces."
