PNC ARTS ALIVE TAKE FLIGHT!

 Thanks to a grant through the PNC Arts Alive initiative, YOU will be able to taste the freedom of flight for just $10! Circus Harmony is a proud recipient of a PNC grant that will support PNC Arts Alive Friday Fly Nights where you can take a swing for just $10 every Friday in July through September from 5-630 PM.  The Circus Harmony Flying Trapeze Center is located under the train shed, across from the Hard Rock Caf� at Union Station. These discounted flights are first come, first serve so get there early!

PNC Arts Alive is a multi-year, $2 million initiative of The PNC Foundation that supports visual and performing arts groups with the goal of increasing arts access and engagement in new and innovative ways. "Arts Alive is at its heart a driver of economic development," said Michael Scully, PNC regional president for St. Louis.  "By encouraging the tremendous efforts to foster a vibrant and active arts scene in St. Louis, we are working to attract young talent, provide access to new audiences - including those traditionally underserved by the arts - and fuel the economic engine of the region."

This is a very prestigious grant award.  Only 10 arts organizations in the Greater St. Louis area were selected for bold thinking around increasing arts access and engagement and Circus Harmony was one! The PNC grant for Take Flight! will also fund Sunday Fun Days in August where we will offer free juggling classes to the community. In addition, this generous grant is underwriting the formation of the Flying Arches, our new youth flying trapeze troupe, and the Joyful Jugglers, our new juggling troupe.  

The first PNC Friday Fly Night is Friday, July 4. Declare your independence from gravity and come fly with us!
