Ovation’s ‘Stand for The Arts’ awards $10,000 to Bishop Arts Theatre Center

Check presentation to take place during BATC’s Jazz Series at the Dallas Zoo on October 4

Bishop Arts Theatre Center (BATC) has been awarded a $10,000 grant from Ovation’s Stand for The Arts initiative, which supports organizations creating positive impact, protecting access, and encouraging action on behalf of the arts.

The check presentation will take place Saturday, October 4 during BATC’s Jazz Series performance at the Dallas Zoo.

“Support like this does more than fund a season—it affirms the role the arts play in community health, learning, and belonging,” said Teresa Coleman Wash, Executive Artistic Director & Founder of BATC. “We’re grateful to Ovation for standing with our artists, our students, and our seniors.”

BATC will use the funds to expand its theatre series, youth STEAM education programs, and PatioLive!, a creative wellness initiative for seniors.

Tickets for the Jazz Series, as well as other events, are available at bishopartstheatre.org.

Bishop Arts Theatre Center (BATC) is an award-winning, multicultural arts organization in Dallas, producing a theatre season, jazz concerts, new-play commissions, and year-round education for youth and seniors.

Stand for The Arts is Ovation’s national initiative dedicated to strengthening local arts organizations that create impact, protect access, and inspire civic action. More at ovationtv.com.
