TAP (Tiger Arts Patrons)

"The arts, it has been said, cannot change the world, but they may change human beings who might change the world.”
—Maxine Greene—


Tiger Arts Patrons, one of USN’s great booster clubs, focuses on the arts at USN. It provides a community for our visual and performing arts students and their supporters. This support helps to sustain and enhance exciting arts programming.

TAP contributes additional funding to the arts while providing supporters with free admission to events (excepting Theater Guild Performances) including off-campus events.

Membership is open to anyone interested in supporting the arts at USN. This includes grandparents and others in the greater Nashville community.

You may purchase a TAP membership for $75. Your annual fee includes TAP membership for all immediate family members living in your household.

  • Your TAP support means everything!
    Your TAP support means everything

    Your TAP membership is a statement of support for what USN arts students are doing today, and what they will accomplish tomorrow. Your TAP membership includes all immediate family members living in your household.

    Arts programming at USN — music, theatre, dance, and visual arts — is a source of entertainment and inspiration. Your support shows the students, faculty, and audiences that you value their work. TAP money also supports ongoing long-term enhancements for the arts community by enabling funding of program improvements beyond what the annual budget can cover.

    We remain grateful for all that we have, committed to improvement, and looking forward to all that we can share and accomplish together.”

    You may purchase a TAP membership for $75. Your annual fee includes TAP membership for all immediate family members living in your household.   

    Your $75 donation goes towards the support of all arts programming at USN--the music, theatre, dance, and visual arts programs at USN.

    Every year, the Arts Department faculty comes together to create a wish list. Maybe the band could use a new clarinet or the dance studio could use a Marley floor. Perhaps a new pottery wheel would be helpful. That’s where the TAP money comes into play. These funds allow the Arts Department to purchase those special items that may not fit into the yearly budget.
