Help Keep JACK Thriving – Support Radical Art
JACK is a home for bold performance and community action. We began as a small storefront with a big idea: make a place where artists and neighbors meet, build trust, and imagine together. More than a decade later, that spirit is still the heart of our work.
On any given night you might see a new play, a music set, a community conversation, or a gathering that brings elders, students, and working artists into the same room. You will feel the welcome at the door, the care in the room, and the sense that what happens here can ripple far beyond our walls.
Your gift keeps this circle strong. It pays artists and staff fairly, keeps tickets accessible, opens our doors to schools and local groups, and maintains a safe and vibrant space for the work to grow. If JACK has moved you, if you believe in art that belongs to its community, please give today.
Monthly giving helps most. It provides steady support so we can plan seasons with confidence and say yes to the next artist who needs a stage.

ARTIST SUPPORT
JACK support goes towards BIPOC artists and those committed to our collective liberation. The work at JACK is always new and allows the artist to build their audience. Many artists have accomplished first milestones of success at JACK: their first evening-length work, their first review in The New York Times, or their first opportunity to have their work seen by presenters. Your donation offers these artists more substantial financial and creative resources when producing their work with JACK.

ARTS & ACTIVISM
Our goal in founding JACK was to create an arts organization with racial equity at its core. This focus has resulted in the curation of series such as Forward Ferguson and Reparations365. Next season we'll be expanding our Reparations365 programming with a conversation series that aims to build solidarity between Black Americans’ movements for reparations and Indigenous peoples’ movements for the return of stolen land in partnership with several other arts and community organizations. Your donation makes it possible to offer these programs for free!
ARTISTS in CoMMUNITY
Partnering with local community organizations and senior centers, JACK fosters relationship-building and artistic opportunities for our neighbors. We weave community engagement into all facets of our programming. 2024 season artists will offer free programming for our neighbors in conjunction with their shows including - public workshops, moderated discussions, performance collaborations, and/or mutual aid efforts. Your donation makes these collaborations possible!
