The artists want to create and re-create the Jacob’s pillow community by supporting projects beyond the month after month. During the Summer, the schedules features more of the third world performers, I winter programs in Philadelphia, Miami, and Minneapolis brings the local, national, and foreign companies together for off season programs.

“The Pillow's annual budget is $2 million, 55 percent of which is earned at the box office; through a number of programs, the National Endowment in the past has been counted on for $150,000.”  Ted Shawn bought 125 acres the Berkshire farm a rural retreat, but became the toured as well. Shawn’s ambition was to bring acceptance for men I dance.
