Individual Support

In 2025, we welcomed over 48,000 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 2026 by making a donation today.

At the Merriweather Arts and Culture Center, we continue to offer programs and experiences that are accessible to everyone—because we believe the arts belong to all and are best experienced together. Your support helps make this possible! From the joyful energy at the free performances at Color Burst Park and the Columbia Lakefront, to the excitement of young people at one of our Merriweather Teen Nights, in-school music residencies, or on the stage at Merriweather Post Pavilion, we’ve seen 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.
