This winter, contributions from individual donors are earmarked for the Keeping Creativity Cool (and Warm!) Campaign: a quest to revitalize climate control in the Annex, a space at CLARA used exclusively by community-based arts organizations. With your support, we’ll be able to

  • Safely add space for our student summer camp offerings (you can’t learn to dance in hundred-degree heat!).
  • Provide additional space for community arts organizations to rehearse and perform (The Annex is currently only rentable for about eight months of the year; being able to ensure a comfortable space year-round adds hundreds of hours of potential arts programming to our calendar).
  • Expand community-based programming for all ages in all seasons.

Your support will help keep creativity flowing — literally. It will ensure dancers can rehearse, students can learn, and artists can create in a space that supports their best work.

A match challenge grant means the impact of your gift is doubled, now through February 1!

Thank you for supporting access to the arts, creativity, and expression.

Thank you!
