As we celebrate our 12th year of existence as the little venue that could, we’re looking to raise at least $25,000 by July 31st help cover our programming cost for the year.

 In this first half of 2024 alone, artists at JACK have used their powers of imagination to: 

  • Bring us messages from a liberatory future 

  • Create installations that foster restoration and healing through ritual.

  • Put together teach-ins on the role of cultural resistance in movements. 

  • Written brand new plays about intersecting movements for liberation. 

We’ve been proud to move nimbly and responsively to these artist visions and show up in solidarity an overarching vision for collective liberation. 

We need community members like you to contribute to keep our space open, thriving, and supporting artists in making adventurous new work.

While a donation of any size (and at any time) is appreciated, we’ve added in a few perks if you give by July 31st at the levels below

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!

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!
