  • Community Outreach - Open Arts Alliance engages our community through our four signature programs: Senior Arts Education, Student Leadership Councils, In-school residencies and Development projects. Open Arts proudly pioneers therapeutic music and drama programs for senior citizens that use principles and practices of the performing arts to bring music and laughter to health-care facilities, assisted living communities and community centers, making theatre accessible for all, particularly those struggling with dementia, Alzheimer's disease or limited physical mobility. These programs are driven by suggestions and vision from the Leadership Councils. The Open Arts Alliance Leadership Council is composed of students in grades 8-12. Leaders are developed through the council with the aim of mentoring new and younger students in the organization, aiding in organizing tasks, program development, parent and student outreach, social media and philanthropic endeavors. In-school residencies are designed to be conducted in public and private schools for 6-8 weeks. Professional teaching artists teach 50-60 students in grades 3-5 and a full-scale musical is presented to the learning community at the end of the residency. Open Arts Alliance actively engages theatre arts professionals by offering financial and creative support to develop new projects. These programs impact over 4,500 community members each year.
