About Sounds of Blackness:

Sounds of Blackness is not just a performance; it is an 8-week fine arts program that brings together the vibrant tapestry of dance, music, and spoken word, all intricately woven to tell the compelling journey of Black people. This unique program results in a 2-hour-long Black History lesson, engaging students in a creative exploration of their heritage.

The Impact of Your Support:

Fundraising is crucial to the sustainability of our fine arts program. An astounding 90% of the children we serve come from low-income, single-parent households. Through Out Tha Box Productions, our non-profit umbrella, we provide these children with a diverse range of artistic experiences, with a primary focus on dance and performance.

Our Exciting Journey:

Recently, we relocated to the Village Place, where we are enthusiastically building a vibrant community. Currently utilizing temporary large spaces, our vision is to raise funds for a dedicated studio located on the grounds of The Village Place. Our goal is to raise $50,000 this year, specifically directed towards the construction of this space. This studio will empower us to continue offering free and reduced opportunities for dancers of color and deepen our engagement within the community.

How You Can Support:

We invite you to join us on this exciting journey by becoming a sponsor of Sounds of Blackness. Your support will not only contribute to the success of this annual production but will also play a pivotal role in building a dedicated studio at The Village Place. We offer various sponsor levels, each providing unique opportunities for recognition and engagement.

Your generosity will make a lasting impact on the lives of young artists and the community at large.
