✨THE ARTS NEED COMMUNITY SUPPORT✨ Public funding for the arts is being dismantled as the National Endowment for the Arts continues to rescind grant awards. For Blue Lapis Light, we have also lost a critical source of funds, as a major supporting foundation has unexpectedly ceased operations. We write today to ask you for your help. For the last two decades, we've been honored to support our city, creating small- and large-scale work, empowering the community through aerial dance classes and workshops, helping vulnerable communities through programs like Youth Taking Flight, and inspiring generations of artists both on and off the stage. We've been woven into the tapestry of artistry that, through both political and transcendent work, has defined Austin. We intend to continue on this path, bringing shows right to the city's doorstep, engaging the public, and deepening community bonds that are vital in these uncertain economic and political times. Your support is more vital and inspiring than ever. Your generosity empowers us to move forward with our core mission: to create works of art that serve as prayers for the planet, and to awaken in our audiences images of beauty, transcendence, and shared humanity. We believe the arts can serve as a powerful bridge—reminding us of what is sacred, and of what we share. We ask that you consider donating, ensuring Blue Lapis Light can carry on. We are truly appreciative of your dedication to our vision and to the healing power of dance.
