SUPPORT ARTISTS THAT INSPIRE

 
 

The Yard is committed to creativity.

The Yard is a bastion of innovation, a refuge. Our all-expense-paid creative residencies are treasured because your gifts enable us to invest in artists.

When you support The Yard, you too are underwriting creativity.

Your gift helps guarantee that our residencies include a thriving wage, travel expenses, housing and food, health and wellness care, and funding to support research and production. Whether an artist and their company is creating a new production or teaching in the Martha’s Vineyard schools, we provide an environment that allows them the time to be curious, to experiment, and take risks.

Our Impact

Founded in 1973, The Yard is the only nonprofit of its kind on Martha's Vineyard. Each year, The Yard supports dozens of local, national, and international performing artists, through paid-creative residencies, performance, and community engagement. Our education and creativity programs reach thousands of individuals, bring dance into schools, libraries, outdoor spaces, and homes. When you support The Yard, you are energizing this work and spreading the contagious joy, ingenuity, and healing that the arts bring to our community.

 
 

OTHER IDEAS?

Please consider getting involved with The Yard.  One way is to support future generations of dancers through planned giving. You may want to join a committee and plan an event.  If you want to discuss a gift or have other ideas, we would like to hear them. Please contact Executive Director Stephanie Pacheco, stephaniepacheco@dancetheyard.org, and make a date to talk.
