Partnerships

MadArt’s community partnerships promote deeper engagement opportunities through education-based programming thanks to sustained relationships with mission-aligned organizations. This allows us to extend the capacity of our programming model, providing direct access to artists and contemporary art making practices and supporting the educational objectives of partnering organizations.

Velocity Dance

MadArt is a proud cultural partner of Velocity Dance Center’s NEXT FEST NW (2023), an experimental new works festival that celebrates contemporary dance and movement-based artists innovating in our region. MadArt’s partnership focuses on the development stages of the program, providing artist support in the form of honorariums and residency space at MadArt Studio from August 14-28, 2023.
