Our 2026 Raffle and fundraiser has concluded. Stay tuned for next year! Our raffle will start middle of October 2027, and our Art in the Air will be on Sunday, November 7, 2027.

Art in the Air: Annual Showcase and Fundraiser

Sunday, November 8, 5 p.m. (Doors 4:30)

Come celebrate the strength, artistry, and heart of our advanced students.

Art in the Air is an evening of lyra and silks performances, created and performed by the dedicated young aerialists who have spent months training, rehearsing, and growing as artists. Every act is a reflection of their hard work and creativity, and we can’t wait to share it with you!

Your ticket supports our annual scholarship and outreach program, helping us keep aerial arts within reach for students who might not otherwise have the chance. Empowered Movement Aerial impacts 350 students annually through our programs. Your support keeps these programs thriving.

Bring your family and friends, and help us cheer on the next generation of aerialists.Event tickets here:
