Pacific Northwest Ballet

Pacific Northwest Ballet announced the receipt of a million-dollar gift from the Friday Foundation. With this gift —designated to the Pacific Northwest Ballet Foundation — PNB has created a new endowment, the Jane Lang Davis New Works Fund. Annual income from the invested fund will provide support for one new ballet each season, and PNB's New Works initiative, including workshops for emerging artists. PNB established the Pacific Northwest Ballet Foundation in 1998 to receive endowment gifts and bequests. The first dance artist to benefit from this gift will be choreographer Penny Saunders, whose debut work for PNB will be financed in part by the new fund, with additional support from Seattle dance philanthropist Glenn Kawasaki. The as-yet-untitled ballet will have its world premiere Nov. 12 during PNB's 2020-2021 digital season. Jane Lang Davis was instrumental in the formation of Pacific Northwest Ballet as a founding member of the organization.
