monthly Sustaining Giving Circle
The glow
We Glow brighter together.
Step into our inner circle. Your recurring support directly empowers Montana’s only full-season professional contemporary dance company and sustains our home on the Westside.
Why Join the Glow?
Ticket sales alone cannot cover the genuine cost of professional dance in an intimate 80-seat house. Creating bold, original art takes rehearsal time, professional wages, designer stipends, and space. When you subscribe to The Glow, you become the foundation beneath our floorboards—helping us keep ticket prices accessible while investing directly in working artists.
