When you support us, you support the future of creativity.
Your support gives artists the opportunity to embrace risk. We provide artists with the time, resources, and mentorship they need to push the boundaries of art itself. Your support also allows a community hub to flourish. Open to the public 7 days a week we offer a place to gather; a place where you can imagine, debate, celebrate, protest, unite and invent the future.
Whether you make a donation, volunteer your time, talk about us on social media, or stay connected through our newsletter, your contribution makes a difference. Thank you for your generosity!
Learn more about the inner workings of live arts. You can help out in the box office or garden—if you’ve got another idea, we want to hear it! We want you to get as much out of your volunteer experience as we do, so tell us what you’d like to learn and we’ll try to make it happen. Ready? Email us to get started.
