Truly vibrant cities always have vibrant arts scenes, with people engaged in creative, dynamic experiences - and the more people involved, the greater the rewards and benefits to our quality of life. Therefore, we are excited to announce the upcoming ArtsOpelika Membership Drive, to increase participation in, and stimulate growth and support for arts, education, and entertainment opportunities broadly across our community. Members are always welcome, as well, to join our Performance Series subscriber base as we continue our rich, 38th season tradition of hosting the best of regional, national, and international events at Opelika Center For The Performing Arts on campus at Opelika High School. ArtsOpelika, headquartered at the historic Southside Center for the Arts, also welcomes its hometown residents and everyone throughout East Alabama, to participate in our many community-based, arts-for-all activities. And best of all, membership fees are priced so that there’s a place for every family and every budget to be involved!
