Individual Support

In 2026, we welcomed over 46,000 residents to our programs and events and showcased hundreds of artists from around the world, making countless memories along the way.

Help us create more magic and memories in 2027 by making a donation today.

At the Merriweather Arts and Culture Center, we continue to expand the scope of our programs and experiences. These offerings are accessible to everyone—because we believe the arts belong to all, and are best experienced together. Your support helps make this possible! We’re bringing joyful energy to free and low-cost performances at Color Burst Park, the Columbia Lakefront, and Merriweather Post Pavilion, along with other Downtown Columbia venues. And we’re focused on enriching the lives of young people with our new Teen festival MYFest, our recurring Merriweather Teen Nights, and our annual in-school music education residencies. Each year, we’re excited to see first-hand how the arts spark joy and build the essential bonds of community.

You can use the form below to contribute online, or if you would prefer to mail a check, please make it out to "Merriweather Arts and Culture Center" and mail to 10475 Little Patuxent Parkway, Columbia, MD 21044.
