Interact's mission to create art that challenges perceptions of disability transforms lives of artists with disabilities and audiences.

Interact transforms lives for artists with disabilities – and your support is what makes it happen!

Since 1996, Interact’s mission to create art that challenges perceptions of disability has opened up new horizons for artists with disabilities from whom very little may have been expected, but whose lives have now been transformed as talented, creative, contributing members of our communities.

These life-changing opportunities make all of our lives richer – artists, audiences and supporters alike – when we experience the creative energy that grows from celebrating our shared humanity. None of this would be possible without your help!

Your gift will go directly toward high-quality art supplies for our visual artists; set, costumes and performance opportunities for our performing artists; opportunities to work in the community with recognized professional artists; scholarships for artists who cannot qualify for disability benefits; and a creative, forward-looking life for artists with disabilities.

Consider becoming a sustaining member… it’s affordable and easy!

Make an automatic monthly contribution to Interact – in any amount that fits your budget – and your annual contribution goes to work right away. Your monthly contribution is automatically charged to your credit card, and continues uninterrupted. Sustaining contributions are easy to budget, and you can change or stop your monthly contribution at any time. Help us spend more time working with artists and less time fundraising with your ongoing monthly contribution!

Please contribute today!

Interact is the only organization of its kind nationally or internationally – a place where over 125 artists with disabilities create groundbreaking original theater and extraordinary visual arts each and every day. Interact is multi-cultural and intergenerational, and we embrace the entire spectrum of disability labels. New artists seek us pout as the only place they can fully develop their creative lives. Experienced artists take on new challenges and raise the bar of their own self-expectations. Everyone who participates in Interact’s work – artists and audiences alike – expands their ideas of what is possible through the transformative power of the arts.

Your generosity is where the energy starts, and we couldn’t do it without your help!

Thank you from everyone at Interact for your support!

Sincerely,

Jeanne Calvit

Founder/Artistic Director
