BurlyCon: For Artists Who Never Stop Growing

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

Through our annual international burlesque convention in Seattle, we bring performers, producers, artists and enthusiasts for four days of workshops, professional development, peer feedback, events, and experiences that promote professional growth and create lifelong impact.

Grants help make BurlyCon’s work possible.

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

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