The Circus Dream Atlanta is on the cusp of a resurgence, circus is entering a time of resurgence, the people - young and old - are hungry to move and experience new things, to embrace creativity, to explore their world, to have fun. Atlanta is an international city - what better calling card to show the world our multinational, rich tapestry of creativity, then with something as unique as they come - a circus. The Imperial OPA vision is to further establish Circus as an entity in Atlanta, further push the culture of creativity that surrounds it. Circus is more than clowns and elephants, it's a collection of art. It's movement, it's theatre, it's painting, it's science, it's physics, it's language, it's math, it's accounting....everything that there is, is the circus. We seek to establish a school that teaches primarily Circus Arts, but supports all the arts. A school to train students that have a passion for art, for circus, for life - spur on a movement to do good and make a ripple that will change the world. Atlanta is where we raise our flag. What is the 500 AT 1000 Campaign? To connect with 500 people, companies, organizations, philanthropists, groups, and entities that would like to donate $1000 each to make the vision of Circus in Atlanta a reality.
