Where Burlesque Artists Come to Grow

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 our annual convention in Seattle, BurlyCon brings together performers, producers, and enthusiasts for four days of workshops, professional development, peer feedback, and community experiences that create lifelong memories.

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.
