For more than two decades, VIA Collaborative Arts Corporation has grown from a simple belief: that when artists come together across disciplines, something extraordinary can happen.
Movement becomes musics. Objects and embodiment hold memory. A performance can become a space where people gather to imagine a different future—together.
After more than five years of creation, we will premiere [ ] here in Brooklyn, our creative home. (Save the date! We hope you join us Oct 23-25, 2026 at Target Margin!) We are planning conversations, workshops, and community gatherings that open our process to people of all ages. Simultaneously, we continue developing new works that ask urgent questions about how we live, remember, and move through a changing world.
Additionally, we just launched Care Marking: a zine of reflections on caring for artistic practice and family, featuring contributions from 12 artists who are also caregivers, and assembled by Adrienne and longtime collaborator, VIA co-founder and current board member, Katie Swords Thurman. Please plan to join us for the launch event on July 12 in Brooklyn!

Also in July, we're thrilled to launch peer pressure, an artist cohort co-conceived by Adrienne and Sugar Vendil and her organization, Isogram, and hosted by Mercury Store. This pilot run will serve eight artists for six months with monthly in-person meetings, work-in-progress showings/feedback sessions, and resource sharing.
This work is made possible by you -- the people who believe in it.
As we approach the end of our fiscal year on June 30, can you help us reach our annual fund goal of $22,000?
As a small nonprofit, we rely on the generosity of individuals who share our conviction that interdisciplinary performance can be a force for connection, reflection, and transformation. Your support fuels the daily, often invisible labor of creation: artist fees, rehearsal time, residencies, community programming, and the space to experiment boldly.
Recent contributions from donors like you have helped us reach important milestones, including our first organizational grant from the New York State Council on the Arts, and support from Howard Gilman Foundation, The Emily Hall Tremaine Foundation, The Charles and Joan Gross Charitable Foundation, Brooklyn Arts Council, and crucial Matching Support from John C Robinson. These foundations and supporters strengthen us as we step into a season of premieres, expanded programming and audiences, deeper community, and new possibilities.
Every gift—large or small—helps us continue making work rooted in collaborative creation, curiosity and community.
Thank you for supporting this!
