MayDay Sponsors
Every April, In the Heart of the Beast opens its doors to the public
for a month of free workshops to create the floats, masks, puppets,
and costumes that you see today. These workshops provide a rare opportunity
for people of all ages and walks of life to come together and work
collectively on one of the most anticipated annual events in the Twin
Cities. The financial and in-kind sponsorships of businesses and foundations
help us keep these workshops free and open to everyone. Our heartfelt
thanks go to:
Sponsors
Special thanks to all who have donated trees

And the hundreds of individuals, foundations,

and other programs at In the Heart of the
Beast Puppet and Mask Theatre.

that also support this
program.
