performing arts events, museums,<br />
gardens/arboretums and other arts and<br />
cultural institutions to our network of<br />

In-Facility Program brings the arts<br />
directly to audiences with disabilities<br />
~ Chinese Proverb ~<br />
<strong>Art</strong>-<strong>Reach</strong> seeks to involve our audiences in a full range of cultural<br />
opportunities. We have <strong>20</strong> years of experience and a rich understanding<br />
of the physical and economic barriers that can make the arts inaccessible.<br />
We draw on this knowledge to develop customized programs and services<br />
that respond to the needs of our audiences and partners.<br />
or economic disadvantages through<br />
on-site performances and arts activities<br />
at participating agencies and schools.<br />
These arts programs are for those who<br />
have difficulty attending programs in the<br />
community or for those groups that want<br />
the arts brought directly to them.<br />
Workshop Program provides in-depth,<br />
participatory arts programs that address<br />
specific social needs. Past workshops have<br />
included intergenerational arts workshops,<br />
after-school programming and artists-inresidence<br />
programs.<br />
Accessibility Resources give people<br />
with disabilities and their family and<br />
friends the information they need to<br />
attend cultural events. Our Access Guide,<br />
available in printed form and on the<br />
<strong>Art</strong>-<strong>Reach</strong> website, provides information<br />
about the physical accessibility of over<br />
140 arts and cultural facilities, as well<br />
as details on programmatic accessibility<br />
(e.g., assisted listening devices, Braille<br />
or large-print materials). In addition,<br />
<strong>Art</strong>-<strong>Reach</strong> maintains a calendar of<br />
accessible events on PhillyFunGuide.com,<br />
the Philadelphia region’s comprehensive,<br />
up-to-date consumer website featuring<br />
entertainment events.
