ArtReach programs increase arts access for underserved populations through ticket distribution (Community Tickets), transportation (Arts Express) and hands on activities (Creative Opportunities In-Facility Arts Enrichment & Camp ArtReach).

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.

Creative Opportunies In-Facility Creative Arts Programming

In-Facility Programming focuses on providing human service organizations with the resources needed to help their clients learn a variety of art disciplines from professional artists through hands on workshops and live arts performances. ArtReach provides organizations with the tools they need to ensure their arts programming is as strong as their recreation and academic programs. For additional information contact Sarah Gulinska or Sarah Jensen.

Camp ArtReach

Scholarships are awarded to selected member agencies with a special child in need of a week-long Arts Camp Experience. For many of our clients, ArtReach provides their only opportunity to experience visual and performing arts. These experiences provide at risk individuals with a sense of accomplishment, self-esteem, and a desire to connect with their community – all attributes that can give disadvantaged people a chance to succeed.
