Elevator Project
Through this performance platform, we enable small, emerging and historically marginalized arts organizations and artists to entertain and challenge our community in significant ways.
The initiative has evolved into an exciting, curated season of work stretching across genres — with the projects chosen through a competitive process by a panel of arts professionals and advocates.
