Simi Valley Cultural Arts Center's SHARE THE ARTS Program provides discounted and free access for low-income community members and special needs groups to attend and paritcipate in arts, cultural, and educational programs at the Simi Valley Cultural Arts Center.
Through partnerships with the City of Simi Valley, California Arts Council, and generous donors we strive to make live arts experiences part of everyone’s lives. Through inclusive access, we provide experiences that can spark an interest, ignite a passion, and shape a future without limits.
Our Share the Arts free ticketing program offers tickets at no cost to qualified members of the community who may otherwise not be able to attend live arts events.
We have recently expanded our Share the Arts program to include making partial and full scholarships available for Young Artists Playground (YAP) registrations.
