Madison Circus Space

Donate

Madison Circus Space is a volunteer-run, 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. We use your gifts to accomplish these goals:

  • Cultivate and foster appreciation for circus and movement arts in Madison and beyond
  • Champion the unique concept of a 24-hour circus arts space
  • Host quality classes and workshops
  • Host performances with sliding-scale tickets
  • Offer affordable memberships for hobbyists and professionals to train
  • Provide financially viable rental space for qualified instructors who cannot afford their own buildings or studios

Our Current Campaign: Beyond the Building

We want to ensure that MCS can support experiences that are bigger than what we can imagine!

We built our beautiful, world-class circus training facility in 2019, but the pandemic disrupted our plans. Since we couldn’t host classes or shows in the ways we hoped, we were forced to use up all our reserves to keep MCS open.

Our objective is to have the funds in place to support the big goals (that we had to temporarily set aside during the pandemic): connecting with community partners and growing our staff, as well as keeping membership and rental rates affordable, equipment for members and instructors, and beyond. 

If we raise $400,000, we can focus on what we love: our art, our community, and our futures!

Secure the Seats

We need to dedicate 100 chairs, anchor the chairs to 12 platforms, and elevate the four sections. Learn how to support the Beyond the Building Campaign through Secure the Seats.
