WE HAVE EXCITING NEWS!
Your 2022 donation to Rosy Simas Danse will continue to support three thirty one space in the Twin Cities for Native, Black, Indigenous, and People of Color transdisciplinary and dance artists.

We are expanding!

We are opening additional space in the Northrup King Building to BETTER support transdisciplinary and multidisciplinary artists who need spaces to build, paint, and build community. Over the next year we will open three new spaces. 

• A wet studio for artist who need to work with various materials.  

• A meeting, classroom, gallery space for artists to build relationships and work together. 

• An office space for our growing staff.

In addition to raising funds for expanding space, expenses connected to artist residencies and artist fees, we need to raise funds to continue to update three thirty one space for all artists for all artists which includes:

• Installing an ADA complaint automatic pushbutton front door. 

• Updating the kitchen to be beyond ADA compliant and more user friendly for all. This includes a new adjustable height kitchen counter, lowering the counters we currently have, installing a more accessible faucet and stove. 

• Updating the bathroom beyond the grab bars to have more accessible lighting and other features.

• Installing a drape track for our drapes to partition off the space as needed.

AND we need to raise donations to create an access fund of $10,000 to provide accessibility services in 2022-2023. These include helpers for those who require assistance to create in our space, audio description and ASL interpretation of online and in person events, continued accessible website integration, and more. 

Our goal for 2022 is to raise $20,000 towards the $40,000 for space expansion and upgrades, new equipment, and the creation of our access fund.
