SUPPORT THE RIALTO

The Rialto depends on its loyal contributors to keep ticket costs affordable. Proceeds from ticket sales only cover an average of 30% of the cost of our performances. To keep prices down, the Rialto looks to its donors and sponsors to make up the difference. Your generosity is critical to the continued success of the Rialto Center.

Your Gifts Make A Difference

When you donate to the Rialto, you help us bring the high-quality programming of the Rialto Series into the heart of downtown.

On March 7, 2020, the Rialto Center for the Arts welcomed our last in-person audience of the 2020 season. Although the COVID-19 Pandemic has temporarily changed how we bring world-class artists to our Atlanta stage, the Rialto Center for the Arts at Georgia State University is finding new and creative ways to bring the arts to our patrons.

At the dawn of our second century, the Rialto faces an uncertain future. Canceled shows and events have created unprecedented challenges that have an immediate and lasting impact on our ability to serve as a place where exceptional artistry thrives and diverging cultures blend together.

The Rialto has created innovative programming since we closed in March, including online virtual programming such as Live at the Rialto, Rialto Replays, Feed Your Senses Livestream and the Rialto Home Grown Artist Series. Additionally, we recently announced our partnership with Atlanta Ballet to stream their choreographic programs in February and March 2021. In October, we also launched an exciting new joint venture with GSUTV and the Creative Media Industries Institute: a public affairs series with Pulitzer prize winning author Douglas Blackmon titled Crucial Conversations.

Whether on stage, on screen, in the classroom or among the streets of downtown, the Rialto is an integral part of the Georgia State community and the City of Atlanta. Now, more than ever, we need your support to ensure that the Rialto continues to provide exceptional and diverse arts programming that provides hope to our Atlanta community and beyond. Make your gift today.

Thank you for your support, and we hope to see you at the Rialto soon!

Name Your Seat in the Rialto Theater

WE’VE GOT A SEAT WITH YOUR NAME ON IT

Become part of the legacy of the historic Rialto Center for the Arts at Georgia State University by naming a seat in the Rialto Theater! Leave an enduring mark in the theater and celebrate special memories of a loved one or a performance long into the future.

We invite you to name one or more seats in the theater for yourself, your loved one or your business. You may provide us with your choice of seat location for naming.

Each named seat will display a handsome, engraved brass plaque bearing the name of your choice. Your nameplate will remain in place for years to come.

When you name a seat, you will be invited to enjoy a private backstage tour at the Rialto with up to four (4) family and friends (per seat named).

SEAT PLAQUES ARE $1,000 PER SEAT AND ARE TAX-DEDUCTIBLE TO THE FULLEST EXTENT OF THE LAW.

While we will try to accommodate your seat request(s), we cannot guarantee that you will receive your choice of seats, nor can we guarantee that your named seat will be available when making ticket purchases. Seat plaques and season subscriptions are unrelated.

THANK YOU IN ADVANCE FOR NAMING A SEAT AND BECOMING PART OF THE RIALTO LEGACY FOR THE NEXT 100 YEARS!

Your seat plaque will remain in place for many years to come unless or until the seat is replaced (we have no plans to replace seats in the foreseeable future).
