WHY SPONSORSHIP MATTERS

By underwriting a component of Pointeworks Season 3, you directly invest in the creation of new ballet and the artists who bring it to life. Your support makes it possible to:

  • Provide meaningful, paid work for dancers and choreographers during off-season weeks—supporting artistic sustainability, not just performance outcomes

  • Bring nationally and internationally acclaimed artists to San Diego, connecting the region to the highest level of contemporary ballet

  • Commission and premiere original ballets and live music, expanding the repertoire and ensuring these works live on through future performances and documentation

All sponsors receive recognition in Pointeworks programs, on our website, and in donor communications, along with opportunities for behind-the-scenes access—including rehearsals, private viewings, and direct engagement with the artists they support.
