About the benefactors, Charles and Marian Holmes

The Marian and Charles Holmes Performing Arts Fund was established in 1998 following the death of Marian Holmes. The fund was established to assure the production and presentation of new or unusual performances in drama, music, or dance which would not otherwise be economically feasible. Charles Holmes was a professor in the English department at Pomona College from 1941 to 1975. In 1974, Professor Holmes won the Wig Award – The Wig Distinguished Professor award for excellence in teaching, the highest honor bestowed on Pomona faculty. The Wig Award recognizes exceptional teaching, concern for students, and service to the College and community.  The recipients of the Award are elected by the junior and senior classes and then confirmed by a committee of trustees, faculty, and students.

Applications for funding are being accepted at this time.  Please contact Mary.Hall@claremont.edu with any questions.
