Community Partner Program

Intersection for the Arts believes in the power of art to contribute to healthy communities. We are always looking for opportunities to exchange ideas and perspectives, and to collaborate with remarkable organizations.

Through our Community Partner Program, Intersection has established ongoing collaborative relationships with more than 85 neighborhood and community-based organizations to create opportunities for artists to work in community settings and for people who might not otherwise participate in arts programming to become involved at Intersection.

These relationships are central to helping us develop programs, build audiences, create opportunities for artists, and nurture new and young artists, cultural workers, and arts audiences. 

Not only are we able to invest a broad diversity of people in the projects, we are also able to develop deeper and more resonant work. We organize gallery tours, group events, youth literary programs, and we always provide free and reduced cost tickets to events and scholarships to workshops. Each preview week in the theatre is dedicated to our Community Partners. With each new project, our goal is to establish new relationships. These relationships are central to our mission. Simply put, we do not exist without them.
