ArtReach Denver - Programs

ArtReach’s three programs facilitating arts and cultural opportunities for at risk and underpriveleged populations are Arts Benefiting Kids, ArtsExpress, and Community Tickets.

Arts Benefiting Kids

The Arts Benefiting Kids education program focuses on youth from economically disadvantaged families and provides an environment where they can learn a variety of art disciplines from professional artists that go directly in the schools or organizations.

"That is why I come to school everyday," states Jasmine, a student in the ArtReach Arts benefiting Kids education program. For many of these children, ArtReach provides their only opportunity to experience performance or visual arts. These experiences provide youth with a sense of accomplishment, self-esteem, and a desire to stay in school – all attributes that can give kids a chance to succeed.

Community Tickets

The Community Tickets program distributes donated tickets to cultural, community, sports and arts events to individuals in various communities. Donor organizations provide tickets that are distributed to membership agencies. Agencies in turn provide their clients with tickets allowing individuals to experience various events. The Community Tickets Program provides some individuals with their only outside activities and is the original program that started ArtReach.

ArtsExpress

Transportation can be a barrier when attending an event, even when the ticket is donated. Through the generosity of the Helen K. and Arthur E. Johnson Foundation, ArtReach is able to provide funding for transportation.
