Help keep the Gem of the South shining by joining
the Friends of the Bijou Membership Program

In January 2009, the Bijou celebrated its 100th birthday with the Jubilee! To continue with the celebration of such a momentous occasion, we are launching the Friends of the Bijou membership program. Funds from the membership program will help us continue to present the best music, dance, and comedy acts, as well as help to keep this historic theater in top condition for years to come.

Why should you join the Friends of the Bijou?
It is your theater! The Bijou Theatre is a non-profit theater that exists because of the public’s support. In addition to being a world-class concert space the Bijou is a theater for the community. It provides a venue for local performance groups, non-profits organizations, local schools and area businesses to perform, meet and be entertained at an affordable price.
Also, where else in the region will you find perfect acoustics and performances by the most exciting up-and-coming performers or niche artists?

By visiting the Bijou you’re stimulating downtown Knoxville’s economy. On any given night the Bijou can draw up to 760 people into the area. Many visitors are shopping, eating, drinking, and parking here in downtown. Our city’s future partly depends on our ability to support and nurture the growth and appreciation for the “arts” in our community.
