Crewe Center Founding Sponsorship Opportunities

The Crewe Center for the Arts has opened its doors, launching a bold new era for the arts at the University of Southern Maine. This extraordinary facility has already transformed our Portland campus into a hub of creativity and community, where students, faculty, and visitors come together to make, perform, and experience the arts in inspiring new ways. The building also houses 26 brand new Steinway pianos, earning USM the designation of the only All-Steinway Institution among Maine colleges and universities, and one of just 250 worldwide.

Your partnership will keep this remarkable center alive with opportunity — and your name will stand among those who helped make it possible.
