Join & Donate
OZ Arts is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. That means donations, corporate sponsorships, and government funding form the backbone of our operational budget. While ticket revenue offsets some expenses, it accounts for less than half of what it takes to bring world-class performances and educational programs to our community.
Your support is essential to our continued success and growth. By making a gift to OZ Arts, you help keep our ticket prices accessible, fund the presentation of diverse performances from around the world, support the development of local artists, and bring integrated arts education programs into local schools.

Purchase a Specialty License Plate
On average, 80% of publicly-funded arts grants in Tennessee are funded by the purchase of specialty license plates. That means one small action can make a BIG difference for your favorite arts and cultural programs in Nashville and across the state! There’s no need to wait until your current tag expires. Purchase an arts plate anytime and the county clerk will prorate your fees.
