Help Support the Twin Cities’ Newest Performing Arts Center: Become a COWLES CENTER CHAMPION!

In its inaugural seasons the Cowles Center will deliver on its promise to lift the Twin Cities dance community to new heights by:
• Providing a premier venue that is affordable, designed for the needs of dance, that will enable artists to reach for – and achieve – new levels of artistic expression;
• Providing affordable rehearsal space in nine dance studios where artists can explore and teach;
• Housing two dance schools that provide education to everyone from beginners to pre-professionals;
• And connecting thousands of students from across the country with arts educators through the award-winning Target Distance Learning program.

As a nonprofit organization, The Cowles Center for Dance and the Performing Arts relies on contributed income to help us sustain our presentations and programs. Support the Cowles Center and you will help ensure the long-term success of this prominent new arts center.
