30TH ANNIVERSARY SEASON

Securing our future
As we celebrate 30 years of meaningful impact and artistic success, we are also planning for Rivendell’s future.
In an increasingly challenging political and cultural landscape, Rivendell’s mission remains as vital as it was at our founding in 1995. Women’s rights and voices are once again threatened. Simultaneously, funding for the arts, as well as programs supporting women are being reduced, making it increasingly difficult to leverage the power of
the arts to tell stories, open minds, and create dialogue.
Please join us in ensuring Rivendell continues to thrive as an ongoing platform for women’s voices.
