A year-end gift to Bread and Roses Missouri shows that you support access to the arts for working families and share the conviction that the arts have the power to effect deep and lasting social change.

Your donation supports projects like our Youth Initiative, providing free arts lessons for youth ages 7-12. Through art-making with professional teaching artists, our Youth Initiative shows nearly 600 BIPOC and immigrant youth per year how the arts can be a powerful tool to make change and to build community. Our Workers' Theatre Project, features productions about working class people and their struggles, and about the history of the Labor Movement. Often the performers ARE workers, like in our annual Workers' Opera, created by workers, for workers.
