Off-Leash Area Give to the Max 2024

Off-Leash Area's 2024 Give to the Max Campaign

It's our 25th Anniversary!

Please consider supporting this small, resilient, and resourceful performing arts organization, giving voice to and supporting independent artists, artists with disabilities, and out-of-the box creators throughout the Twin Cities Metro!

PRESENTING VITAL COMMUNITY PROGRAMMING

In its 25th year, Off-Leash Area continues to provide vital community programs serving artists and audiences with disabilities:

1. At the time of this fundraiser, we are preparing the 3rd year of Off-Kilter, our successful program supporting a diverse community of artists with disabilities. Artists with disabilities have fewer opportunities to share their work, and with the Off-Kilter Cabaret, Off-Leash Area is doing its part to meet that need.
2. We just concluded our 8th year of our popular Neighborhood Garage Tour program, which brings original contemporary theater and dance directly into underserved neighborhoods across the Metro. On this 8th year of the NGT, we brought back our original production of "The Medicine Show of the 25th Century", a hilarious multi-media theater piece. Persons with disabilities, older adults, parents with young children - all of these groups have economic and geographic barriers to access the arts, and with The Neighborhood Garage Tour, Off-Leash Area is bringing art directly to the people.
3. Off-Leash Area is committed to integrating all abilities into its programming and productions, and we are continuing to nurture this in our current and upcoming work. Stay tuned for our next MainStage production in May.

YOUR CONTRIBUTION WILL ENABLE OFF-LEASH AREA TO CONTINUE THESE PROGRAMS IN 2025!

We have a donor who will match $3,070 this year!

YOUR STARRING ROLE 

Your participation is vital!

It takes only a total of $500 a month to sustain our small organization, maintaining the day-to-day administrative and creative work that makes our ambitious projects and programming possible.

PLEASE CONSIDER BECOMING A MONTHLY SUSTAINER!!

Your generous contribution, in whatever amount is meaningful to you, will ensure that we can continue to pay artists, offer resources, and provide a solid foundation for the exciting programming you expect from us, all while remaining flexible and sustainable.

Your 2024 GiveMN investment in Off-Leash Area's 2025 programming will assist us in providing opportunities for artists and audiences with disabilities, and continue creating some of the most original work in the Twin Cities.

Thank you! - Jennifer Ilse & Paul Herwig, Co-Artistic Directors, Off-Leash Area
