Kinetech Arts was founded in 2013 by Daiane Lopes da Silva and Weidong Yang with a mission of advancing the intersection of art, science and technology through research and performance. Since then, we have created many incredible projects with very limited resources, which came from grants, and a few private donations. We are reaching out to you, as a long-time friend and supporter of Kinetech Arts, to help us grow.
 
Expanding our productions schedule, community outreach, and educational efforts, as well as ensuring that the artists are compensated for their research and effort, is our goal. Here are some of the upcoming projects that your donations will help support.
 

• DanceHack - Hosted by Kinetech Arts in association with Mills College at The Northeastern University, DanceHack brings together 100 dancers, hackers, digital artists, and performers to collaborate on live interactive art and performance. The event includes workshops on dance, digital art and coding. Your donation will help us pay instructors, catering, administration costs. There are people coming from all over the world to participate in this very special educational, collaborative and fun event.

• Open Lab – Since 2013, every Wednesday night, everyone is invited to join Kinetech Arts in experimentation with new technology, dance improvisation and artistic exploration. The Lab is free and open to the public. Every week we research, meet new people and share resources with each other. Your donation will help pay space rental, administration costs, and help us create a program to showcase the work of our community members.

• Y-Exchange - A forum for artists, technologists and scientists to talk about their work, scheduled for the last Wednesday of each month. Your donation will go towards paying artists for their presentation, space rental and administration costs. These events value the knowledge of artists and enrich our community with valuable information.

• Performances - Every year, for about 3-4 months, we hire dancers, technicians, visual artists, creative technologists, lighting designers, musicians, etc to make a new full length performance. Artists need work and we compensate all our artists for the amazing work they do. Theaters and technicians are very expensive. Grants are usually not enough to pay for such a production.

  
  

                                WE NEED YOUR SUPPORT!
  

 
We have an incredibly ambitious schedule for the year ahead, and we can’t accomplish these goals without your help. As a bonus, any one who donates $100 or more will receive a Kinetech Arts coloring book designed by Raymond Larrett or a marvelous insulated coffee/tea cup. Please give as much as you can, and help Kinetech Arts community to grow and thrive!
