Ticketing Program distributes<br />

donated and discounted tickets from<br />

performing arts events, museums,<br />

gardens/arboretums and other arts and<br />

cultural institutions to our network of<br />

member human service agencies and<br />

schools. The Ticketing Program also<br />

serves as a community outreach tool for<br />

our partnering cultural organizations.<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.
