Support the inaugural PCCF!

PCCF is more than a celebration.  It is also an important vehicle to support emerging circus artists.  For new circus work to exist, it needs venues, audiences, and technical support.  PCCF helps provides artists with all of those things, along with marketing assistance, feedback on new projects, and valuable networking.

 

As a brand-new, volunteer-run organization, PCCF needs your support.  All contributions will go directly towards the production of this year's festival.  We appreciate your investment in contemporary circus, and we hope to see you at the shows!
