The Yard is dimming its lights for a year-long pause to rethink their programming and financial model to ensure sustainability.

Dance Theatre of Harlem will be in residence on the Island from August 19 to 23, hosted by a group of institutions, including the The Yard, Vineyard Arts Project, Vineyard Preservation Trust and the Oak Bluffs Public Library.

Time Lapse Dance ensemble, along with founder and artistic director Jody Sperling, are in residence at The Yard for the next few weeks.

In a time when venues dedicated to the arts are dwindling, Yard executive director Stephanie Pacheco said she is extremely proud of the programming the organization continues to offer.

The Yard's kicks off its 2024 season with a collaboration with the Boston Dance Theater and The Trustees of Reservations. The performance will highlight climate change on the Island.

Stephanie Pacheco finished her first summer as the new executive of The Yard last month, but she's already conjuring up plans to make the art residency program more active in the off-season.
