ECA Education Matinees 2023-24
Arts for Everyone Information
ARTS FOR EVERYONE offers schools discounted tickets to performances in ECA’s Education Matinee series. With the objective to increase accessibility to the performing arts for young people, ECA has committed to provide a minimum of 30% of seats at each Education Matinee at a reduced rate to schools, based on their overall percentage of students on Free and Reduced-Price Meal programs. For these schools, tickets will be $2 per student, vs. the regular $9 student ticket price.
To participate, teachers may apply for discounted tickets on a by-performance basis. Priority will be given to schools with an overall percentage of 30% or higher of students on Free and Reduced-Price Meal programs. Allocation of Arts for Everyone tickets is at ECA’s discretion based on both a school’s level of need, and the order in which groups apply. Teachers will be notified of whether they have received Arts for Everyone tickets two months in advance of each performance.
ECA also offers one free chaperone ticket to ALL schools for every 10 student tickets purchased, with the goal to reduce pressure on teachers and family members who attend Education Matinees as chaperones.
