Support That Shapes Dance’s Future
Building Belonging Through Ballet
Oregon Ballet Theatre does so much more than put on incredible performances—we bring people together. Beyond investing in young artists, your support is an investment in the entire Oregon community.
From hosting dance workshops at schools to keeping our ticket prices low, your contributions allow us to make dance a shared cultural experience rather than a luxury. Our impact spans far beyond the stage, touching the hearts of countless teachers, families, and neighbors.
OBT’s Mission
Oregon Ballet Theatre presents world-class performances, mentors young dancers, and expands access to art education in the community, so everyone can share our appreciation for dance.
Why Art Matters
When art reaches everyone, it changes everything. Ballet may take place on stage, but its impact reaches into classrooms, neighborhoods, and hearts, making an impact that lasts far beyond the final curtain.
Art reveals who we are and who we want to become, stirring empathy, inspiring conversations, and reminding us of our shared humanity. At Oregon Ballet Theatre in Portland, we’re paving the way to a more understanding, supportive, and inclusive community through shared experiences and the universal language of dance.
