The Dare to Create Foundation for the Arts works to expand access to dance and performing arts opportunities in rural communities through scholarships, inclusive programming, and artist development initiatives.

Community partnerships play an essential role in making these opportunities possible.

By partnering with our foundation, local businesses and organizations help provide scholarships, support inclusive arts programming, and create meaningful artistic experiences for youth and adults in our region.

Together, we are helping ensure that the performing arts remain accessible to individuals across our community.
