Arts for All!

On stage and off, Celebrity Series' Arts for All! programs engage people of all ages and backgrounds in community programs that harness the creative energy of the performing arts to build thriving communities and cultivate the next generation of artists and audiences.

Arts for All! has something for everyone! Were you one of the 10,000+ people who joined us on September 23, 2018 for Jazz Along the Charles: A Walkable Concert on the DCR's Charles River Esplanade? Throughout the season, we invite you to experience the talent of local artists and youth at Neighborhood Arts concerts. Move with us at Artist Connections community workshops, or be inspired at masterclasses and post-performance artist talks. Explore the many performances available for discounted tickets through Take Your Seat.

All of these programs are part of our vision of a community of Greater Boston where the performing arts are a valued, lifelong, shared experience - on stages, on streets, in neighborhoods - everywhere.
