CONNECT Program
GLOBAL ARTS LIVE CONNECT PROGRAM
Global Arts Live believes that everyone belongs at our concerts. Our CONNECT Program focuses on widening opportunities to engage in the arts because experiencing live art from other cultures helps everyone learn, connect, and grow.
"Having affordable access to the arts provides places to gather and make connections, allows for vital cultural roots to be explored and celebrated in front of new audiences, and promotes cultural education that reminds us all how connected and dependent we are on each other.” - International Institute of New England
“At our company, we often say, 'You never know where a great story will lead.' We repeatedly find that when people share or listen to a well-crafted story, they gain a greater sense of belonging in their communities and unlock unexpected opportunities. Yet, I feel similarly about all art forms. I admire the Global Arts Live [CONNECT] program because I know the students and others for whom arts are often economically inaccessible not only enjoy the nonprofit's exceptionally high-quality entertainment but, in a few hours, their worldview expands.” - Stellar Story Company
HOW IT WORKS
- Global Arts Live works with local nonprofits serving youth, immigrants, and economically disadvantaged families so that they can enjoy our concerts.
- For a select number of concerts each season, we reserve 2% of tickets for selected family-friendly concerts and invite partner organizations to offer $9 tickets to their constituents (average annual ticket is $40).
- Current partners include the International Institute of New England, Per Scholas, Stellar Story Company, Latinx Community Center for Empowerment, Open Door Arts, Local Initiatives Support Corporation, Boston International Newcomers Academy, The Loop Lab, 826 Boston, METCO. New partners are added all the time. If you are interested in learning more or becoming a partner, please reach out to [email protected].
