About Open Arts Alliance:

Open Arts Alliance (“OAA”) is a non-profit social service organization that uses therapeutic arts programs to educate students and engage senior citizens. Our programs enable a diverse student population, aged 6-18, to volunteer and interact with a similarly diverse community of seniors with special needs including mobility and memory issues.



We utilize theatre and storytelling to establish an intergenerational connection between students and special needs seniors that would not otherwise have access to the arts. Our programs feature need-based scholarships for students and bring services to seniors at no charge.
