We invite the world to experience awe everyday. 

It is the light in the eye of a student at BANDALOOP Studios in West Oakland, CA; the spark of community collaboration creative residencies at Arts Centers and Universities; and the waves of wonder we inspire on international tours from Boston to Shanghai.

When awe is inspired we feel more attuned and open. Our sense of belonging goes up and our guards go down. We become curious, compassionate, and connected to something larger than ourselves. These are the moments that transform us, our ecosystems, and the world we share. 

BANDALOOP shared awe with 30,000+ people this year, all over the world, for free. We subsidized 3,000+ hours of arts education and creation space in West Oakland at BANDALOOP Studios, sharing our values and vision with 500+ artists and students.

Our work is deep and broad, high and low, and we need your gifts at all levels to continue to share the awe that connects the world and widens our circles of belonging.  

Thank you for ensuring that awe remains accessible in our hearts, communities and shared open spaces. Thank you for giving to BANDALOOP.
