For many Western New Yorkers, experiencing the arts isn’t a matter of interest – it’s a matter of access.
That’s why Arts Services Inc. created Arts Access, a program that removes barriers like cost, transportation, and awareness, connecting thousands of individuals and families with arts and culture experiences throughout our region.
Starting July 15, 2026 at 7:16pm, we’re participating in Give 716, a community-wide day of giving that helps local nonprofits raise critical funds and compete for bonus prizes and matching grants. Every donation made during the event helps us continue growing Arts Access and gives us additional opportunities to earn even more support.
Today, more than 7,100 community members use Arts Access to visit over 70 arts and culture destinations across Western New York – a program that has grown more than fivefold in less than three years.
Join us July 15-16 and help ensure that the arts belong to everyone!
