Overview
The Dance Palace is an active community center that features a performing arts program serving the residents of West Marin. This area?a group of unincorporated, semi-rural coastal villages separated from each other and from the larger towns of eastern Marin?has limited access to the arts and significant numbers of seniors and residents living well below the poverty line. Arts programs reach nearly 4,000 people each year through offerings by well-known artists in dance, theater, film, and classical, world, and folk music. The Dance Palace also provides performing arts classes for children and adults, the Dance Palace Summer Stock Players for teens, and performances and workshops for local students, in and out of school. Renewed support would help the organization give more people opportunities to participate in the arts and build staff and financial stability.

for general operating support
Dance Palace is a multidisciplinary arts and community center that serves residents of the remote region of West Marin. Its programs reach nearly 4,000 people each year through offerings by well-known and local artists in dance, theater, film, and music. Dance Palace also provides performing arts classes for children and adults, and performances and workshops for local students, in and out of school. This grant advances the Performing Arts Program’s Communities strategy by ensuring a home for community-based arts and culture in a rural part of the Bay Area, where few arts resources exist.
