We need your support now more than ever to keep disability justice thriving in boston and beyond.

With your support we can help create a more disabled and diverse arts and culture sector in greater Boston and beyond. While our grant funding is getting cut due to shifting federal administration priorities, local budget slashes, and more, we’re relying on our community to help bridge the gap of keeping our programming going.

With your support you can support a more disabled and diverse workforce in Massachusetts and beyond to:

  • Perform in original productions as dancers/choreographers, musicians/composers, access team, and more to amplify intersecting elements of disability justice on stage for audiences across Massachusetts and virtually globally

  • Teach adaptive ballet curriculum created by Founder Ellice Patterson and expanded to meet the needs of disabled and diverse public school students, elders, 18 - 30 year olds in day/residential programs, and more across greater Boston

  • Develop skill sets across artistic mediums (learning audio descriptions in ADB’s aesthetic; learning adaptive movements that fit to diverse bodyminds; and more) for a more inclusive performance career trajectory

  • Develop skills sets across administrative mediums (learning how to engage communities for audience development; learning project management skills to support working across multiple teams; and more) towards a career trajectory in nonprofit and other industries
