Your Generosity Creates Incredible Art
Whether on stage, in the studio or out in the community, Richmond Ballet strives to create enduring art that lives on in the hearts and minds of our audiences and performers. Charging the complete cost to professional performances, School of Richmond Ballet classes or Minds In Motion schools would make these experiences inaccessible for many. Your generosity opens the door to the world of dance for our community, the Commonwealth, and beyond.
Nearly 40% of our annual budget is funded through contributions that enable us to reach over 100,000 patrons and participants each year. Your generosity makes you a part of the art at Richmond Ballet, The State Ballet of Virginia.
