10th Anniversary Fundraising Campaign 

The Isabel Bader Centre for the Performing Arts is celebrating its 10th Anniversary season in 2024-2025. Since opening in 2014, the Isabel has gained a global reputation for its remarkable architecture, outstanding acoustics, and exceptional programming. It has evolved into a cultural centre that unites individuals, fostering a convergence of artistic and academic fields that encourages fresh insights into life and culture.

Performing artists experienced abrupt and unparalleled financial setbacks during the pandemic shutdowns. They continue to encounter significant difficulties in what remains a precarious landscape for live musical and artistic performances. To celebrate our 10th Anniversary – and to address these financial challenges – we are launching a fundraising campaign. 

As a unique unit within Queen’s whose focus is on the performing arts, the Isabel is tasked with generating our own operational funding so we can continue to offer the calibre of performances for which we are known. We rely greatly on the generosity of our friends to make this possible.

This revitalized fundraising campaign has a goal of $200,000 to be allocated to essential operational aspects of the Isabel. This funding will address the increased costs associated with public and educational programming, as well as emergent infrastructural needs.
