Sponsorship for the DisabiliTease Festival holds significant importance as it enables our producers, Minda Mae and Lakota Shekar, to alleviate stress by ensuring that we can guarantee the following:

  • An in-person show at one of the only accessible venues in the Twin Cities.
  • Equitable pay for performers, tech crew, and staff.
  • Backstage refreshments, including water, snacks, and goodie bags for performers.
  • Accessibility accommodations such as ASL interpreters, live captioning, video editing and captioning, and transportation.

Sponsors can contribute both in cash and in-kind donations, which empower us to create an inclusive and equitable environment that reduces barriers for performers, staff, and audiences. The festival also aims to increase visibility and representation for disabled artists while fostering growth and connection within our local and global communities. Thank you for your support!
