Community Outreach at the A.R.T.

A.R.T. outreach programs provide an unprecendented level of access to A.R.T. artists and productions.

We believe a great arts experience doesn't begin and end at the theater door.  Through subsidized tickets to A.R.T. productions, mentoring opportunities, private performances, innovative theater workshops, artist talks - and more - the A.R.T. is dedicated to expanding the community's engagement with great theater.

Our primary programs, the Education Experience and Community Connections, are season-long partnerships with local schools and non-profit organizations in the  Boston area.  Both provide a custom-built enrichment curriculum that ties each A.R.T. season production with existing classroom activities or organizational focuses.

The A.R.T.'s creative theater class, Fairy Tale Theater, offers a hands-on theatermaking experience for children aged 4-7.  Fairy Tale Theater runs every Saturday morning, October 22nd through December 17th, 2011 (no class on Thanksgiving weekend).

Over 1,000 local students and community members were provided subsidized access to The Gershwins' Porgy and Bess!

Help continue the success of the A.R.T.'s outreach initiatives by giving a gift to the Outreach and Education Department.  Your support not only underwrites a ticket to a show, but also provides a student or community member with an unforgettable arts experience.

A gift of $25 sponsors a child,
A gift of $50 sponsors a child and a parent,
A gift of $100 sponsors a child for the entire 2011-2012 season.

Please contact the Development Department at 617.496.200 x8838 for more information on sponsorship, including opportunities to sponsor an entire school or non-profit organization.
