School Sponsorship
The School at Jacob’s Pillow is revered for its inspiring young dancers and renowned teachers.
The School at Jacob’s Pillow is an esteemed center for dance known for inspiring young dance artists who are coached and mentored by a distinguished, international Artist Faculty. School Sponsorship is a gratifying way to support The School at Jacob’s Pillow. For those who wish, School Sponsors can connect to these dancers and spur them forward as artists and artist citizens as they shape the dance field of tomorrow.
Jacob’s Pillow Members at the $5,500 level may choose to be a School Sponsor in direct support of the expansive educational opportunities offered through The School, during the Festival, and globally year-round. Sponsors may opt to meet with School dancers over a meal, following their public presentations, or while attending Festival performances and events during their time at The School. Many find that the dancer/sponsor relationship lasts far beyond the season. All School Sponsors are invited to attend annual recruitment and special events of The School which are held during the Festival as well as throughout the year in locations such as Miami, New York City, and virtually. The annual School Sponsor luncheon at Jacob’s Pillow is a highlight of every summer.
Gifts at all levels are appreciated and benefit all dancers of The School.
One of the greatest joys of this investment is watching students develop their technique and skills as they pursue their dream to dance professionally.
“I have derived tremendous satisfaction from supporting The School at Jacob’s Pillow. To witness the transformation of talented young dancers into real artists in a matter of weeks is magical and awe-inspiring.”
– Elaine Wolbrom, School Sponsor
