We’re still on cloud nine about this day! 🤩☁️✨ Art Belongs Day was more than an event, it was a reminder of what’s possible when community comes together with care, creativity, and intention. So much connection, so much joy, and a whole lot of collective magic 🥹✨

Happy Birthday to our amazing Executive Director, Miranda! ❤️ You are an incredible and inspiring leader, and an even more remarkable human.

Miranda 🤝 mini mic 🎤 At #instaballet, we center artists by ensuring fair pay for every hour of work, from rehearsal to performance. Community support is what allows us to keep that promise and continue creating opportunities for artists to be compensated with care and respect. Through May 1, an anonymous donor is matching the first $2,000 raised, dollar for dollar 💃 Give today at instaballet.org/donate - your contribution (even just $5!) makes it possible for us to honor our commitment to paying artists fairly, so they can continue dedicating their time, skill, and creativity to this work. ❤️ See you in May 1 at @capitellowines!

Had such an incredible time creating with @bridgewayhouse this morning! 💛 Thank you for welcoming us so warmly, friends. It was extra special celebrating 10 years of creating together. What an amazing milestone. Here’s to the next 10! ✨ So many beautiful moments of connection, celebration, and creativity 🤗 Huge thank you to Oregon Cultural Trust, Oregon Arts Commission, Oregon Community Foundation, Chambers Family Foundation, and Lane County Cultural Coalition for making this possible. ✨

See you soon, @bridgewayhouse 😊✨🌟🕺
