Help us build the future of aerial arts
At The Aerium, we’re not just teaching aerial arts—we’re building an entire ecosystem of circus-based education, performance, and community healing. From breathtaking shows like The Mad Hatter’s Tea Party to our revolutionary wrap theory curriculum, we’re shaping the future of aerial movement—and inviting you to be part of it.
We envision:
• A world-class aerial arts theater and school—owned, not rented
• A four-year circus program that supports artists from curious beginners to elite professionals
• An artist-led model that empowers women, creatives of all kinds, and underrepresented voices
• A growing library of books, curriculum, and stylized illustrations that preserve aerial knowledge for generations
Why We’re Fundraising Now
This year, our San Antonio studio suffered major flood damage, threatening our ability to operate safely and grow. Though we’ve pivoted and persevered—continuing rehearsals, classes, and shows in borrowed spaces—we’re now at a turning point.
It’s time to:
• Build or purchase our own facility to prevent future disruptions
• Create long-term sustainability
• Expand our child, adult, pre-professional and professional companies
• Launch more shows, train more teachers, and invest in next-gen circus education
• Ensure financial stability, equity, and legacy for our team and community
Our Goal: $5,000,000
This campaign will help us:
Initiative Goal
• Studio ownership/build-out $2,500,000
• Staff salaries & job creation $500,000
