Movements of Many

10 Years of Ishti

2026 marks 10 years of Ishti Collective creating space for artists, community, and connection. To honor this milestone and sustain Ishti into the future, we invite you help us raise $10,000 for 10 Years!

To help us kick off this campaign, join us for a three day outdoor performance experience. Each family-friendly evening begins with a hands-on rangoli activity—creating colorful geometric floor designs—followed by performances featuring dance traditions that have shaped us: Bharatanatyam, folk and contemporary. Join us in the park for movement, creativity, and community.

Your support makes our work possible. As we look to Ishti’s future, we want to

  • Continue to create productions that respond to the world around us, engaging audiences in dialogue and reflection

  • Hold space where artists, audiences, and community members come together to explore creativity, sustainability, and collective care

  • Center artist care through wage equity/transparency, support during the rehearsal process, workshops and professional development, and mentorship

Give What You Can, Sustain What You Love

We need more than just financial support. Contact us if you are able to help us:

  • Volunteer at one of our events

  • Introduce us to spaces, partners, or communities that align

  • Connect us to potential donors, funders or sponsors

  • Share your skills

❤️❤️❤️ But most important, attend and share this 10th Year Celebration with your network! ❤️❤️❤️
