Covina Center For The Performing Arts

While the physical transformation of the Covina Theater into the state-of-the-art Covina Center for the Performing Arts is a huge undertaking, it is actually only the beginning. Much more will be needed to ensure that the Center realizes its full potential as a community resource and the region's cultural hub. We hope you will browse this page for current donor opportunities and contact us if you have questions. Let us know if you have other ideas about how you can help!
