We are thrilled to announce that Eastern Shore Ballet Theatre is building its very first permanent home: The ESBT Arts Center at 301 Tilghman Road, just off Route 50 and adjacent to Junior Achievement in Salisbury, Maryland. This exciting milestone marks a new chapter in our mission to inspire and educate through the art of ballet—and it has been made possible thanks to the unwavering support of our community, along with generous contributions from the Maryland State Arts Council, the Salisbury Wicomico Arts Council, and the Community Foundation of the Eastern Shore. Strong ticket sales—our largest source of income—have also reflected your dedication to our work and the value you place on the arts.
​
To sustain this momentum and bring our new space to life, we’re launching a year-long fundraiser with a range of giving levels so that everyone can take part in this transformation. Our fundraising goal is $50,000, which will help us fully outfit the studio with essential equipment. The new facility will feature a 2,000-square-foot dance studio, a dedicated costume shop to build and house hundreds of costumes, and storage for props and set pieces. It will serve as a vibrant hub for auditions, rehearsals, and master classes—bringing our dancers, instructors, and community together under one roof.
​
How You Can Help:
Your gift—of any amount—will help us equip the space with barres, mirrors, sound equipment, costume shop furnishings and materials, and other key studio elements. All sponsorships will be gratefully recognized on a dedicated wall within the new studio.
We invite you to be part of this exciting new chapter in ESBT’s journey!
