Help Build Sky Stage!
Tax deductible
Be a part of Sky Stage -- a transformative arts project launching in Frederick, MD!
Sky Stage is transforming a boarded building in Frederick's downtown historic district into a center for free arts and culture. This pre-Revolutionary War building was damaged by a major fire in 2010 and has no roof. On September 17th, the plywood boards on the doors and windows will be removed to reveal an interactive community art space. Sky Stage will offer free arts and cultural activities for children and adults including drama, music, children’s story time, art classes, folklore, history, naturalists and film. The heart of Sky Stage is a two story living sculpture with spirals of plants that will be irrigated with a rainwater catchment system.
Sky Stage has grown from volunteer efforts of artist Heather Clark, the Frederick Arts Council, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, AmeriCorps, Burning Man, local contractors, community members, and many local businesses. However, to get to the finish line, we need your help. We’re asking you to help contribute the last $10,000 for project costs that could not be donated, such as insurance, specialty materials, and some specialty labor.
Thank you for helping us finally take down the boards at 59 South Carroll Street and open Sky Stage to the public!
