AXIS is proud to unveil our latest creation:
The Access Guide for Presenting & Touring in the Performing Arts.
The Access Guide empowers venues to make necessary changes that foster a vibrant artistic community, fueling creative innovation and ensuring access for all. Accessibility is not merely a matter of physical accommodations but a broader commitment to representation, equity, and belonging within the arts.

The journey to achieving #AccessEverywhere
cannot happen without your support.
This year, we focus our appeal on raising $35,000 which will enable AXIS to launch this initiative nationally and provide greater access to our work. Can you join us?
We ask you to consider making a meaningful gift that will allow us to take this vital endeavor further and ensure the arts truly reflect the rich diversity of the human experience. Donations from new donors and existing donors that increase their contribution size will be matched by the AXIS Board of Directors, up to $5k.
AXIS Dance Company is a registered 501(c)(3) non-profit organization,

To maximize your impact, contact your work’s HR representative to see if your company offers matching gifts. If your gift is eligible for a match, please let us know by filling out this form.
Want to celebrate the launch of the Access Guide with us in person? Join us for our Access Guide Launch Party on Thursday, July 25th from 6-8 pm at the Ed Roberts Campus in Berkeley. Tickets are available here.
