For 41 years, we've brought beauty to communities across Arkansas, and we need this beauty now more than ever. A donation of any amount today supports our operations, enhances our productions, and allows us to introduce innovative education programs to communities across the state. It also supports the endeavors of our partners as we together present programming to Arkansas audiences. 1 of every 15 Arkansans has experienced the beauty of what we do. Your support keeps our dancers on the stage and our education programs in the classroom for years to come. On #givingtuesdaynow, you helped us raise $20,000 towards our larger campaign goal of $50,000. Help us to reach our next milestone, and support Ballet Arkansas. | | |  | | | | Ballet Arkansas PO Box 941 | Little Rock, Arkansas 72203 501-223-5150 | info@balletarkansas.org | | | | | | | | | |
