We’re excited to share a simple new way to support our work: you can now donate your Return-It recycling refunds directly to soma anima arts.

It’s easy, accessible, and a meaningful way to help sustain our artistic programs, community workshops, and creation processes… one container at a time!

How it works:

1. Log-in to your account through the Return-It App (found on Google Play Store or the iOS App store) or visit https://app.return-it.ca.
   Don’t have an account? Sign up for a free Return-It account at https://app.return-it.ca
2. Donate to our organization using the following link: https://app.return-it.ca/somaanimaartskinesisdancesociety
   You’ll have the option to set auto-donations or a one-time donation.
3. Return all your empty beverage containers to a Return-It Express location, every container counts! Print your label, drop off your bags, and Return-It sends the refund straight to us.

Your everyday recycling can help fuel dance creation, community engagement, and the projects you believe in.

Thank you for supporting local art in such a thoughtful, sustainable way!

Our auction has officially wrapped, and we are filled with gratitude. To everyone who bid, shared the link, donated an item, or cheered us on from the sidelines: THANK YOU!

Your enthusiasm and generosity made this year’s auction a beautiful success.

Because of you, we raised essential funds that will directly support soma anima arts’ artistic projects, community programs, and the artists who bring these works to life.

Your support reminds us that the arts thrive through community, collaboration, and care. We are honoured to have you with us on this journey.

As we look ahead to the coming year, with new creations, residencies, and projects in motion, we carry your encouragement with us. Thank you for helping sustain the artistic work we love and for being an integral part of our community!

Seeds of Tomorrow: 
Our Online Auction will be live from November 17 to December 1st 2025!

Support dance & find amazing gifts this season.

Beauty. Art. Experiences. Kids items. Lifestyle treats.

There’s something for everyone — and every bid helps sustain soma anima arts.

Your generosity sustains our vital work! 

From innovative performances to inclusive outreach | all grounded in creative liberation, collaboration, compassion, and community.

Your contributions directly support programs that bring movement, creativity, and connection to people of all ages and abilities.

This includes community outreach and engagement initiatives such as dance workshops for youth in francophone schools, creative classes for older adults in community centres, Generations, which brings dance to care facilities for seniors and community members living with chronic illness or mobility challenges, Freedom Floor, which offers improvisation sessions for at-risk youth navigating mental health and addiction challenges… and so much more!

Your support also fuels the research and creation of new interdisciplinary productions, including Bright Shadow, Gentle Glory, Reverence for the Rebels, What is us & eternal… and so many other inspiring artistic collaborations!

Why your support matters:

With rising costs and an increasingly competitive arts landscape, your generosity sustains the artists, staff, and volunteers who make this work possible.

Every auction bid helps ensure continued access to transformative art that nurtures mind, body, and spirit,  building a more compassionate, inclusive, and connected world… one movement at a time!

We are forever grateful!

Each item up for bid has been generously donated by businesses and individuals, who believe in the work we do, with all proceeds directly benefiting artists and art-making.
