Board of Directors

The Kingsport Ballet is managed by an all-volunteer board of directors made up of community members who feel it is imperative to preserve and nurture the arts in our region. All programs are made possible by the commitment and support of the Board of Directors and the company's fundraising efforts. These include our membership drive, corporate sponsorships, grant funds from the Tennessee Arts Commission, the National Endowment for the Arts, Arts Build Communities, Kingsport Community foundation, and other fund raising events. The Kingsport Ballet would especially like to thank Inove Graphics, Andy Barnes, and Earl Carter for their continued support.
