Arts Mentorship Program Santa Barbara – Committed to providing creative guidance, mentorship, and financial support to young and emerging artists in the greater Santa Barbara Area.

Did you know you can sponsor a dancer? Change a life by enabling a child to experience the healing and empowering gift of dance. We have dancers hoping for their sponsor to come along and ease the financial burden and give them the opportunity to train and thrive with their peers.

Our programs

We invite you to take a look at how AMP is using dance and the arts to change lives in Santa Barbara.

Scholarships

AMP awards need-based scholarships to youth whose families face financial and/or medical hardships. We work closely with local non-profits to bring the gift of dance to our community’s most vulnerable populations.

Rent Subsidy

The AMP Rent Subsidy Program plays a vital role in supporting the artists that make incredible events possible by providing 40 hours per week of studio space. Each year we serve over 200 performing artists and thousands of their constituents.

No Limits

AMP believes dance should have no boundaries. NO LIMITS provides FREE programs that introduce children to the world of movement and expression.

Dance Companies

AMP partners with Santa Barbara Dance Arts to run four Student Dance Companies. Company members receive formal dance training, while also being trained in philanthropy and mentorship.
