Ondas Cultural and Movement Arts

📣🥳We have exciting news to share!
Ondas Cultural & Movement Arts has been selected as one of 8 finalists for the 2026 Local Lift Social Innovation Pitch Competition, hosted by United Way of Tarrant County!

Local Lift supports nonprofits, social entrepreneurs and small business owners working on ideas around financial security, community health, youth opportunity and community resiliency — and we're honored to be part of this year's cohort. Over the next eight weeks, we'll be sharpening our idea, learning from expert mentors, and connecting with other local changemakers.

We'll be pitching live in November during Global Entrepreneurship Week for a shot at a share of $75,000 in funding to help bring this work to even more people who need it. Follow along as we go through this journey.

We want to thank the local Fort Worth businesses that supported this event, including Fort Worth Botanic Garden, Main Event Fort Worth South, and Rockwood Go Karts and Mini Golf, who provided every participant with vouchers to enjoy their amazing facilities!

We are greatful to Sprouts Grocers, who donated fresh fruit and water for our kiddos to snack on.

Kendra Scott and Jay Laine- Laine to Wellness graciously provided us with our door raffle prizes.

And we are always so happy with the product and service of our event Tshirts with Eylan Arts Custom Tshirt Printing, and the shirt and program designs that Jess Grady Design helped us to put together.

This event was held at Victory Forest Community Center with the help and support of their amazing staff, and was funded in part with a programming grant from the City of Fort Worth and Arts Fort Worth.

We also had an incredible group of volunteers, our full board, and our in-house instructors there to bring this event togther, as well as our amazing guest instructors who generously brought their knowledge and practice of the arts to our community.

Join us May 31, in person or via video chat, for our next read! _Rage Becomes Her_ by Soraya Chemaly is available at public libraries and independent book stores. Read/listen, and then come discuss with us!
