Through the George Daily Community Auditorium, the Friends of the Auditorium grows communities with premium productions and education. We believe arts and culture experiences should be affordable, equitable, energizing, and infinite, and using those values, we will always put curiosity and community at the center stage.

Appreciate the world

"It's wonderful for Oskaloosa to experience diverse cultures..."
According to our post-show surveys, our audience indicated that they grew their appreciation of people different then them by 11 points and they broadened their world perspective by 10 points.

A home for everyone

"I always have a great experience at the George Daily, and love the chosen programs for each professional season."
Over 95% of our survey respondants say the Auditorium is a place where they feel welcomed, included, emotionally safe, and physically safe.

Art & Economy

“...There is a visible difference in places with a vibrant arts community. I see people looking for places to park, stores staying open late, and restaurants packed with diners...”
In Iowa, the arts and culture sector generated about $705 million in economic activity, or about a 176 times the state's investment of about 1.4 million dollars.

In our community, 54% of our survey respondants are spending up $100 outside of buying tickets to Auditorium shows.
