As night sets in, theaters, clubs, and venues across Vermont come alive! This is the world of the Nightlife Arts, a vast and wonderful collective of performers, artists, and creators who transform our evenings into experiences of connection, wonder, and joy.

From the comedian testing new material under a single spotlight to the burlesque performer transforming audience and self via the art of the tease; from the musician sharing an original song that silences the room in reverence to the drag artist challenging norms and bringing energetic joy: this is where art lives and breathes. It’s the heartbeat of our nightlife landscape.

But this vibrant community needs your support to thrive.

We are Nightlife Arts of Vermont, and we exist to uplift these artists and the stages they call home. We believe that a thriving nightlife scene is essential for entertainment and for our community. It’s where artists hone their craft and where audiences come together to share collectively, discovering a multitude of emotions and lasting impact.

This Giving Tuesday, your tax-deductible donation will directly impact the lives of Vermont artists and audiences by funding:

Classes & Training: Giving a burlesque artist the skills to command a room. Training future drag performers with makeup skills. Teaching a producer about ethical production. A workshop on cabaret-style dance. A history presentation on Vaudvillians.
Open Stages & Paid Opportunities: From open mics that offer a vital platform to experiment, to paid gigs that provide professional investment. Help support every step of the journey, from first-time jitters to being a paid headliner.
Discounted Tickets: Ensuring that art is accessible to everyone, regardless of their means.
Shows: Fueling the events that bring us all together in celebration and sometimes healing.

You’re not just funding a show; you’re investing in a person. You’re supporting a dream. You’re keeping our nights creative, inclusive, and alive.

Join us this Giving Tuesday. Make a donation and help us turn up the volume on Vermont’s nightlife.
