Friends of Drake Arts

Enhancing Drake's rich tradition of fine arts.

Friends of Drake Arts (FDA) has fostered fine arts programming at Drake University for more than 40 years, ensuring the best possible fine arts education for Drake students and exceptional fine arts opportunities for the region.  FDA's commitment to access means all of Drake's fine arts events are available to members of the Drake and Des Moines communities at little or no cost.

Learn more about the activities and goals of the organization by visiting About Friends of Drake Arts.

Check out the Drake Fine Arts Calendar for the full schedule of music performances in Old Main's Sheslow Auditorium, Harmon Fine Arts Center, and Turner Jazz Center. For tickets to our Theatre Arts productions, please visit the Fine Arts Box Office.

The Anderson Gallery serves as a venue for exhibitions by nationally and locally known artists as well as Drake’s art students and faculty.
