ArtsAccess 2017/18 New Ballet Ensemble & School Photography by Breana Moore Free Events Schedule Información en Español, página 7 ArtsAccess 2017/18 | 1 About ArtsAccess The purpose of the ArtsAccess program is to make the arts available to everyone, regardless of their ability to pay. We want to eliminate the financial barrier that prevents families and individuals from experiencing our city’s vibrant, diverse arts scene. Inclusion in arts events builds communities, inspires creativity, and increases understanding of different stories and viewpoints. In addition, exposure to the arts, early and often, builds future audiences, strengthening the economy and culture of our city. Ballet Memphis 2 | ArtsAccess 2017/18 Here at ArtsMemphis, we’re working to sustain Memphis’ world-renowned cultural vitality and strengthen local communities through the arts. In 2017, we awarded over 150 grants to more than 70 local arts groups and individual artists, totaling nearly $3 million in annual funding. All of this is possible because of the support we receive from more than 1,100 generous donors. Gifts to ArtsMemphis support everything from local dance and theatre to museums and public art…not to mention film festivals, outdoor concerts, arts education, and more!
