Thank you to the Mellon Foundation

Dance in the Desert current research is supported by the Mellon Foundation. We are honored and deeply grateful for this support. Their generous funding has made it possible for us to launch the current research and development phase of Dance in the Desert, a program rooted in community, connection, that centers and uplifts Southwest dance artists.

Mellon Foundation’s support allows us to reconnect with past participants, build new relationships, connect across geographies, and engage in much needed research in the region.

Thank you Mellon Foundation!
