MAGMA is embarking on an exciting expansion of its facility to better accommodate performances, residencies, and classes. Our current studio boasts a 50 x 50 historic ballroom at the top of the Brown Building in downtown Gloucester MA. There are adjacent rooms, currently empty, we plan to develop into a two additional studio spaces, and additional bathroom/dressing room facilities. Our Spring fundraising goal is $100,000.
MAGMA is partnering with a non-profit fiscal sponsor, Boston Dance Alliance, to make possible tax-deductible donations! We are grateful for their support of our organization.
Since our opening in 2017, MAGMA has become a cornerstone of cultural activities on Cape Ann. We have hosted dozens of performances of Theater, Dance, and Music. We have hosted community events like the Gloucester Community Council member event, Cape Ann Climate Coalition meetings, youth music events, and more. And of course we offer dance, martial arts, and other movement practice classes to children and adults, including lower income families through our privately funded Scholarship Fund.
As we ready ourselves to reemerge from the pandemic, we are working to improve our functionality as a public gathering space.
MAGMA has strived to be an artist-friendly environment, working within the limitations of our operating-costs to bring artists affordable places to rehearse, perform, and host workshops. We are dedicated to being a community center for high-quality, forward thinking performing arts, movement practices, and cultural meet-ups.
In addition to the expansion and renovation we will be making a commitment to better marketing and cultural partnerships to strengthen our reach and service to the community.
We hope you will join us in our quest to be an even better spot for the Cape Ann cultural community.
