Access to the Arts
The Access to the Arts Fund is a vital source of support for our community outreach programs, providing access to the performing arts for youth and families who cannot afford to participate.
During the COVID-19 pandemic, we are working to provide high quality arts education programs by meeting the increased demand for conservatory scholarships, curating a virtual student matinee series for area schools and providing free, on-demand arts education classes for underserved youth in our community.
Donate today and YOU can help us to:
- Connect curriculum to cultural experiences and expose 2,400 Worcester teens to a Broadway show through our Adopt-A-School Program
- Subsidize tickets for the 15,000 students who attend our student matinees (with virtual options in 2020-2021)
- Ignite creativity and inspire confidence in kids through the arts, nurturing them to find their voice and develop self-expression, compassion and problem-solving skills through scholarships to conservatory classes and summer programs
- Help adults with physical and mental challenges express themselves in creative movement classes
- Provide professional development workshops for teachers through our new Partners in Education Program in collaboration with the Kennedy Center
