Friends of the Arts

Founded in 2009, Friends of the Arts is an organization at Lubbock Christian University that promotes and provides for the further development of the Fine Arts programs at LCU.

FOTA has actively encouraged and supported the artistic community at LCU by sponsoring the Prince and Princess Tea Party in conjunction with the LCU production of Into the Woods, decorations for the Christmas Concert, and valuable sponsorship for the cast and crew of Carousel and the joint LCU and Wayland Choir Concert featuring the Lubbock premier of Morten Lauridsen's Lux Aeterna.

Monies raised by FOTA also help fund student scholarships. Future goals include providing new instruments for the LCU symphonic band, a theatre building, and an art building. With the help of donations from supporters such as you, we will continue to develop the LCU's Fine Arts programs.
