Wingspan Arts: Donate to Wingspan

By sponsoring a student, you too can play a part. Our students have a passion for their art form and a desire to learn and grow as theater and film artists. What our students need is guidance and training as they explore their creative potential and build self-confidence that will shape their lives forever. $100 equals one day of tuition-free Conservatory training.

Starting in Summer 2008, generous funding enabled us to make our middle and high school Conservatory programs audition-based and tuition-free. We will only be able to continue to offer tuition-free programming with support from you. These changes improved the talent, dedication and diversity of our students. As a result, Summer Conservatory 2008 surpassed every expectation as 60 students tackled complex material and gained invaluable performance skills. In 2009, we plan to expand our programming to serve 70 students. To make this a reality, we need your continued support.

A donation of $100 equals a day of training, $500 is a week and $3,000 covers an entire six weeks of training and will significantly increase Wingspan Arts’ ability to serve our students, but of course your support will be greatly appreciated at any level.
