InterAct Arts Experience
InterAct Arts Experience program provides the opportunity for students from partnered schools that don't normally have access to the arts to see and participate in arts performances and activities in and around their city, which can be a valuable experience.
The program provides a fantastic opportunity for students to visit and explore places that they have never been to before, such as the city, Sydney Opera House and the sea.
Member sponsorships and partnerships ensure that participation and transportation are free for all students that participate in the program.
What is involved
Business members that are corporate sponsors of art bodies work with the ABCN to provide students with access to the arts. The program will continue to expand as sponsorship partnership opportunities emerge.
These sponsorship partnerships have so far enabled over 4,000 primary and high school students to:
- Attend performances and workshops at the Sydney Theatre Company
- Attend sculpture workshops and visit the Sculpture by the Sea exhibition in Bondi
- View the Zeal Theatre's Stones, a play based on the experiences of two teenagers who threw a rock off a bridge onto a road, with fatal consequences.
