A.R.T. EDUCATION EXPERIENCE & COMMUNITY CONNECTIONS The A.R.T. outreach initiatives are designed to provide an unprecedented level of access to A.R.T. artists and productions. The Education Experience engages the theater’s resources to provide a deep arts education experience for students in the Greater Boston area. Each of the A.R.T.’s partner schools enter into a season-long collaboration with the A.R.T., during which students are provided subsidized access to A.R.T. performances, mentoring opportunities, classroom visits from A.R.T. to specific A.R.T. productions. To date, more than 500 students are committed to attend The Gershwins’ Porgy and Bess. Community Connections aligns the theater with Greater Boston nonprofit organizations, for the purpose of providing under-resourced families and individuals with access to high-quality arts experiences. Community Connections partners get a custom-built arts program that pairs subsidized tickets to the A.R.T. with an array of enrichment programming— ranging from private artist talks to creative workshops. Our 2011/12 Community Connections Partners: Artists for Humanity Boston Learning Center Downtown Boston Veterans Shelter Goddard House Mssng Lnks MGH Center for Community Health Improvement Wheelock Family Theater YWCA Boston The A.R.T. would like to thank the following for being our “connectors”: Susan Edgman-Levitan, Erin Gilligan, Mike Feinstein, Sheldon Fisher, Sarah Patrick and Ann Moritz. Both the A.R.T. Education Experience and A.R.T. Community Connections are dependent upon charitable contributions. Providing support for education and outreach not only underwrites a ticket, but also provides a student or community member with an unforgettable arts experience.
