FST Names Arts Plaza, Announces New Match

Arts & Culture

Florida Studio Theatre (FST) proudly announces that its eight-story Arts Plaza has officially been named the FST McGillicuddy Arts Plaza, following the successful completion of the Maier Match challenge gift. This milestone was made possible by the generosity of Ed and Susan Maier, who matched $4 million dollar-for-dollar to support Phase 1 of the McGillicuddy Arts Plaza project. More than 600 donors contributed to the Maier Match, showcasing the community's steadfast support for FST's growth and commitment to the arts. Now, after this generous gift from the Maiers, FST is only $1.5 million away from their $46 million goal. To reach this goal, the anonymous generous donor has introduced a new giving challenge, the Williams Match, where she will match up to $250,000.
