Make Dreams Come True – Support Contemporary Circus Artists
“I cannot overstate how important it is to have a place to be brave. You need to have a place that allows you to try the craziest ideas.” – Christina Gelsone, residency artist at Chamäleon
Artists need space to create — but without support, their ideas remain just that: ideas.
Help turn their visions into reality!
This is where art begins — but only with your support.
An empty room.
A spark of an idea.
A fleeting moment when something new begins to take shape.
But creativity needs time, space, and encouragement. That’s exactly what our artist residency program offers to contemporary circus artists.
Why your donation matters:
At a time when cultural funding is being cut across the board, it’s becoming harder for artists to find the freedom they need to develop their work. Without your help, this door remains closed to many.
Your support makes all this possible:
- Two weeks of artistic residency in our rehearsal space The Cave
- Financial support for circus artists
- Professional mentoring & coaching
- A public work-in-progress performance
Give the gift of creative space.
Every donation makes a difference. Support artists and help shape the future of contemporary circus!
