Summary
Ventana Ballet seeks to accomplish two competing goals, and we humbly seek your help to achieve them.
1) To provide artistically relevant and technically proficient dance performance and education opportunities to the community.
2) To make these opportunities accessible to all members of the community by offering low cost entry.
What does this mean? We want to pay our artists well, and we want to charge a reasonable ticket price for all audiences.
What We Are Asking For
- We are looking to raise at least $5000.
- This funding will cover the costs associated with theater and rehearsal space rentals to present this show and provide a great experience for our audiences and community.
- This funding will also help pay the artists who have worked diligently to perfect their craft and profession.
- This funding will allow us to keep ticket prices below market value.
The Impact
- Your contribution will enable Ventana Ballet to "do it right."
- So many artists are underpaid. Help us show that we value their work and their artistry.
- So many people can't go see great art because it costs too much. Help us welcome all audiences into the experiences we create for them.
- Ventana Ballet has successfully produced great work in the past. The Watchmaker's Song was a popular success, and we plan to bring it back bigger and better this December!
- We are simply asking your help to keep that a reality moving forward, as we work through our first year as a company.
