BurlyCon: Burlesque Education at Work 

BurlyCon is a year-round arts and burlesque education nonprofit dedicated to advancing the creative, cultural, and professional practice of burlesque as a theatrical art form.

Through burlesque education programs, community initiatives, and our annual BurlyCon convention, we support performers, educators, and creatives at every stage of their journey—from emerging artists taking their first class to experienced professionals shaping the future of burlesque.

Grants help make BurlyCon’s work possible.

Support from funders allows us to offer more classes, expand scholarship opportunities, and care for the artists and educators who bring our programs to life.

With grant support, BurlyCon can grow thoughtfully, try new ideas, and keep our programs welcoming and accessible for the community we serve. We’re grateful to 4 Culture, ArtsWA, and Candid—organizations that believe in and help sustain our work.
