Friends of the Fine Arts at LETU help support the various programs and concerts at LeTourneau University by providing financial support to help students participate in summer performance tours, for capital purchases and musicians at concerts, and for other initiatives in the Fine Arts Department.
The arts offer our students a refreshing counter to their highly demanding technical studies and labs. To take an art class and paint for three hours on a Monday night, to play in the Jazz Band, to take private lessons on piano, or to sing in the choir brings relief and joy and expands the other side of the brain, which research has shown to improve academic performance.
LeTourneau students have been privileged to be part of significant performances off campus at Carnegie Hall in New York, in Berlin with 900 singers in the Berlin Philharmonic Hall, at L’eglise de Madeleine in Paris, and elsewhere. Each experience has been life-shaping and memorable, and gifts to the Fine Arts Department make these possible.
I hope you will consider being a Friend of the Fine Arts at LeTourneau University and give a gift of any size. Thank you so much for what you are doing for our students!
Dr. Jim Taylor, Director of Fine Arts, Professor of Music
