Art-Reach is a Delaware Valley nonprofit cultural service organization that
helps underserved audiences to experience arts and cultural programming and
that serves as a community resource by increasing accessibility to cultural
venues and events. Founded in 1986, Art-Reach annually partners with over
100 human service agencies and schools and over 125 cultural organizations
to make the arts more accessible to people with disabilities and economic
disadvantages. Through Art-Reach programs each year, over 15,000 people of
all ages, economic backgrounds and abilities are able to experience the
richness of the arts.
In conjunction with its 20th Anniversary, Art-Reach partnered with EKG to
complement its existing programming by offering clients the opportunity to
participate in hands-on workshops with local artists. Over 75 participants
explored their creativity through a variety of artistic mediums including:
photography, ceramics, drawing, bookmaking and sculpture.
