Prime Shine Driving the Arts Transportation Fund

The Gallo Center for the Arts has received funding from Prime Shine Car Wash to help offset the cost of transporting students by bus to see arts education performances. The funding can be used for transportation to Gallo Center-produced events only. Student performances presented by California Theatre Center, the Gallo Center’s resident companies, or independent producers are excluded. Schools must purchase a minimum of fifty (50) tickets at the Costa Family Fund discounted rate of $5 per student to qualify. Grants will not exceed $200 per round trip, and there is a limit of one grant per class grade per school. A representative will contact you after your request has been reviewed.
