Bill and Donna Eskridge Tri-ART Series
The Eskridge Tri-ART Series is the Brooks Center’s educational outreach program for area schools. Annually, the series presents interactive morning performances by world-renowned musicians, singers, theater companies and Clemson student ensembles. Students, ages 3-18, from public, private and homeschools in South Carolina, North Carolina and Georgia experience both entertaining and inspiring presentations. The series is named for Tri-ART benefactors Bill and Donna Eskridge.

Inclement Weather Policy
When Clemson University is closed, the Brooks Center cannot lawfully remain open to present performances. While some facilities around campus maintain "auxiliary" status and therefore may remain open, our facility does NOT have this status and MUST close. We are required to cancel scheduled performances if the university closes for any reason. Check the South Carolina Emergency Management Division's website regarding status of state offices. If Pickens county is closed, the Brooks Center is closed.
