Triskelion Arts

Our organization has been one of many who have been deeply affected by the COVID-19 pandemic.  Due to the Executive Order 202.3 of March 16, 2020, by New York Governor Andrew Cuomo and the Emergency Executive Order 100 of March 16, 2020, by New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio; as well as the subsequent amendments and previous versions of these and related orders, we temporarily closed until further notice. 

Since then, our community has reached out to ask how they can support us in these uncertain times. We appreciate this so much!

We humbly ask anyone that has the resources to contribute to our Trisk Family Fund. 

Our goal is to raise $15,000.

In 2019:
-73 artists and their collaborators for a total of 330 artists were presented in our theater. 
-their work was seen by over 3000 audience members. 
-our rehearsal studios provided over 6000 hours of rehearsal for 445 artists.

As we continue to navigate these challenges, we are doing everything in our power to protect our organization by working to create action plans to see you all on the other side of this.

If you're unable to give financial support, please help us spread the word and keep spreading the safe, magical vibes in whatever way you can. We understand it is a difficult time for everyone; so, any small contribution helps!

All contributors will have VIP-access at our reopening party and will receive a 10% discount on ticket purchases to Triskelion Arts Presents 2021 Season. 

Thank you to everyone for all your support and love, past, present, and future.

P.S. All donations are tax-deductible!

(Including donations outside of GoFundMe, we have raised over  $100,000. We've amended our goal on this site to reflect what we hope for in remaining online giving.) 

Poised to vacate our longtime home on a third-floor walk-up in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, we recently signed a 10-year lease for the organization's new site. Triskelion Arts will lead the charge as the first institution focused on the presentation of dance and theater in the Greenpoint area. The facility, slated to open in June, is a freestanding, two-story construction that will boast a large ground-floor theater that can also be used for rehearsal. It will also feature three dance studios on the second floor (one of which can be used as an informal showing space.) Improvements include increased audience capacity, higher ceilings, more restrooms, outdoor spaces, and wheelchair accessibility. This street-level location will provide heightened public visibility, benefiting the hundreds of artists presented in our theaters each year. Additionally, we'll have organizational autonomy in this unshared building as the only tenant on the property. Located at the corner of Calyer and Banker Streets, on a charming stretch of this up-and-coming neighborhood, the facility is just a few blocks from the waterfront and the G train.

The total cost to open the new Triskelion Arts is expected to ring up at approximately $500,000. While this is certainly a very large number for us, it is just a fraction of what many projects of similar scope might cost. But the best news of all is that we have already raised close to half of the funds needed through earned income, keen foresight, and informed negotiation.

With our lease in place, the plans drawn and contractors beginning work, the time has come that we must ask for YOUR help to raise the remaining $250,000 by summer's end.


Our growth over the last 14 years is proof of the power in numbers! Small gifts from the thousands of individuals we serve will see us through this transition. Without these generous and greatly appreciated contributions, we cannot succeed. If Triskelion has provided a positive experience for you as a studio renter, an audience member, a participant in our shows or festivals, a student or a teacher, please become a part of this exciting project. Our home is your home! If our spaces have ever played a role in your creative development or practice, please consider an investment in Triskelion's future. No amount is too small or too large!
