Kent and Annette Micho
Our gift is a way to help make sure the Arvada Center continues to inspire families and bring people together for generations to come.
Arts for All Generations Society
Create a Legacy Through the Arts
The arts have the power to inspire us, connect us, and bring meaning to our lives. By including the Arvada Center for the Arts and Humanities in your estate plans, you ensure that future generations continue to experience exceptional theatre, music, visual arts, education, and community programs.
The Arts for All Generations Society recognizes individuals and families who have made a lasting commitment to the Arvada Center through a will, trust, beneficiary designation, or other planned gift.
Your future gift of any size can help keep the arts accessible, welcoming, and thriving for generations to come.
Feel free to contact our Chief Advancement Officer, Teresa YoKell, at tyokell@arvadacenter.org.
Ways to Leave a Legacy
Include the Arvada Center in Your Will or Trust
You may leave a specific dollar amount, a percentage of your estate, or the remainder of your estate after other commitments have been fulfilled.
Name the Arvada Center as a Beneficiary
You may name the Arvada Center as a full or partial beneficiary of a retirement account, life insurance policy, bank account, investment account, or donor-advised fund.
Beneficiary designations can often be completed directly through your financial institution and generally do not require changes to your will.

Emerging artists
