By any metric, Ballet West’s 2014-15 year was one of phenomenal growth.

Victor Rickman Immediate Past Chairman of the Board

Scott Altman Executive Director

Adam Sklute Artistic Director

Record-breaking ticket sales, robust institutional and private giving, expansion and phenomenal growth of the Ballet West Academy, along with a successful matching campaign that resulted in the complete elimination of operational debt, made this year one of the most successful in the organization’s history. Nothing demonstrates the year’s growth more than our move into the Jessie Eccles Quinney Ballet Centre. A decades-long dream fulfilled, this edifice allows the administration, production, and costume shop finally to be housed under one roof. The building is a crown jewel for Utah’s arts community, and it has already allowed artists and staff to continue to elevate ballet to new and exciting levels. Record ticket sales this season proved the people of Utah have a one-of-a-kind passion for dance and a hunger for internationally-renowned artistry, as they attended each production in huge numbers. Patrons were especially fond of the six Ballet West and World Premieres. Overall, ticket revenue was up 16 percent over the previous year. The Company also had one of the most extensive touring schedules in decades, and sold-out weeklong runs at The Joyce Theater in New York and The Kennedy Center in Washington DC. Tours to Aspen, CO, Victoria, BC, and Dallas, TX were also well-attended and well-received. Additionally, dramatic gains were achieved by The Frederick Quinney Lawson Ballet West

Academy, one of the premier dance-education institutions in the country. The spectacular new Barbara Barrington Jones Family Foundation Ballet West Academy at Thanksgiving Point in Lehi, as well as the addition of three dedicated studios at the new Jessie Eccles Quinney Ballet Centre, and two studios at Trolley Square, led to a 70 percent growth in revenue from the Academy, which currently has a roster of almost 445 students. Perhaps most notable during the 2014-15 Season was the elimination of Ballet West's $2.2 million operational debt after a 12-month campaign. Many prominent and passionate donors stepped-up to contribute to --and complete -- a “Million-Dollar Match,” marking the first time in 33 years the company is operationally debt-free. With the fiscal priorities no longer focused on retiring operational debt and debt servicing, Ballet West will place even more emphasis on artistic programming, Education and Outreach initiatives, and the Academy. Next year, Ballet West is thrilled to welcome Brian Powell into the role of Board Chair. Mr. Powell, a Vice President at Zions Bank, is a long-time ballet aficionado. He and the entire Board of Trustees will undoubtedly continue to work with the staff to drive the organization to even greater heights and acclaim in the year ahead. This watershed moment has been made possible by the many who have come before and helped align the building blocks for the future. For an organization that’s already 51 years old, the future is bright with new possibilities.
