Outreach-to-Art

Purpose: Local seniors and youth are often unable to attend arts programs, museums, and cultural events, due to low-income, transportation, or other factors. Through this community-led program, they explore them together. Participants select events of interest, help coordinate transportation, and recruit participants for free or low-cost events. Youth and seniors are experiencing new artists, art forms, and cultures such as the Symphony, Ballet, Cultural Museum, Community and Puppet Theatres, touring groups, and more. 

Activities: Potluck planning sessions, Monthly birthday celebrations, Denver Zoo, Colorado Ballet, El Centro Su Teatro, Denver March Powwow, Walden Family Playhouse, IMAX, CO Historical Museum, Botanic Gardens, Museum of Nature & Science, Speaking of Dance, movies and more...  

             

Outcomes: Expanding their access to and understanding of diverse forms of art, presentation, & culture, increases their tolerance and appreciation of difference. It also, inspires their creative voices to continue learning, growing, and expressing, while developing lasting connections between neighbors of diverse backgrounds and ages.
