Diablo Regional Arts Association

Education and OutreachThe Arts Access School-Time Program is an innovative and collaborative program that focuses on outreach to Title 1 schools from the most impoverished neighborhoods in the East Bay. It provides qualifying schools with free tickets and transportation to high-quality professional performances at the Lesher Center for the Arts. Since 2008, these programs have served more than 70,000 East Bay families, youth, and educators who would not otherwise have an opportunity to experience high-quality live performances and visual arts exhibits. DRAA also provides California Content Standards-based curriculum materials for teachers to use, which enhances the students and teachers' experience well beyond the day of the field trip.
