Since the Inaugural Season the Flickinger Center has regularly offered at least one season of public events gradually sharing all the artists with area schools. The Flickinger Center has grown from presenting eight events to 14 seasonal events, and three concerts of local performers. A grant from Marshall L. and Perrine D. McCune Foundation allowed the Flickinger Center to send a professional artist into 16 of the area schools to help the students design and create 44 Southwest Christmas banners. This grant also allowed the Flickinger Center to set up a school bus fund, allowing schools to attend any event. The community concert series, local theater groups, Chamber of Commerce, and churches rent the Flickinger Center.
All schools use the facility free of charge.
In June 1994 the Alamogordo Civic Auditorium Inc. legally changed its name to the Flickinger Center for Performing Arts, the board and the facility carry the same name.
