ABOUT TRANSPERFORMANCE:

It was 25 years ago the Northampton Arts Council created the first Transperformance: Woodstock The Performance Peace. Each summer the Northampton Arts Council and the Parent Teacher Organizations of Bridge Street School, Leeds Elementary School, RK Finn Ryan Road Elementary School, Jackson Street School, J.F.K. Middle School and Northampton High School join forces to raise funds for arts enrichment in the schools and the ArtsEZ grant program. Last year Transperformance 24: Off the Map was attended by over 2,000 people and provided $1,500 to each school due in part to the dollars raised by donors like you. The money goes toward great projects in our local schools, like JFK Middle School bringing WOFA Drum and Dance Interactive performance to their students. The Northampton Arts Council raised an additional $15,000 that was recently distributed during the ArtsEZ grant round where local artists, schools, and arts organizations receive funding to produce arts events in Northampton, Leeds, and Florence.
