With support from CAC, the Museum of Dance will expand our programmatic growth and impact in the fields of education and archives, specifically our MODED+MODARCHIVES initiatives. This crucial financial support, combined with MOD’s matching funds, will total $120,000 over two years, allowing us to develop MOD’s education and archives digital platform and implement key initiatives such as dance programs in public schools and the digitization of dance archives.
We are grateful for the significant support we have received in restricted funding for these initiatives. Additional funding is needed to cover the contracted personnel fees. To raise the necessary matching funds, MOD is actively organizing Gala activities in 2024 and 2025, as well as strengthening our partnerships with private schools. Personnel fees are crucial for MOD to continue expanding our opportunities and ensuring access for all.
Our core programs and services include:
Education Partnerships: Collaborating with local and national schools, we provide comprehensive dance education programs for students of all ages, including movement, technique, choreography, performance, and dance history. We also offer civic engagement projects and paid internships, fostering a deep connection between dance and community.
Artist Partnerships: Working closely with local and national dance artists, we offer support, resources, and space for their presentations, performances, lectures, and teaching work. By nurturing these partnerships, we contribute to the growth and visibility of dance artists.
Archive Partnerships: We collaborate with local and international dance archives, shining a spotlight on hidden dance archives and assisting in the interpretation and understanding of their significance. By showcasing these archives, we contribute to the broader appreciation and preservation of dance history.
Exhibition Planning and Preparation: Engaging with students, local artists, national and international historians, and archivists, we design and create dynamic “Pop-Up” exhibitions that explore the connections between dance and communities. These exhibitions foster a sense of community engagement and connection.
At the Museum of Dance, we are dedicated to creating an inclusive and enriching environment that celebrates the art of dance and its profound impact on our lives.
