Support UCF Celebrates the Arts
Connect with audiences interested in with education, access, and creative innovation
Sponsorships are now available for Celebrates the Arts 2026, running March 30–April 12 at Dr. Phillips Center for the Performing Arts. This year’s festival features a standout, fiveperformance production of Legally Blonde in the Walt Disney Theater — our largest audience draw of the season.
We are currently offering a limited number of presenting and productionlevel sponsorships, including exclusive naming opportunities tied directly to Legally Blonde, as well as other performances clustered by audience demographics. Because of the scale and audience reach of this production, these opportunities are expected to close early.
A partnership would position you in front of families, professionals, UCF alumni, students, and civic-minded individuals across Central Florida, while aligning your brand with education, access, and creative innovation.
