Passport to the Arts Program
for Children
Designed for children with disabilities and their
families or school groups, this access program
provides a welcoming, accessible, and affordable
introduction to the performing arts at Lincoln
Center at no cost.
“My husband is a jazz fanatic. Although our
kids have spent years listening to records,
we had never been able to take them to
hear jazz performed live because of their
specific needs. Thanks to Lincoln Center,
he was finally able to share his passion
with his children. Thank you so much for
this gift.”
— Passport Program Member

“This program offers us an opportunity
to enjoy the concert as a family, including
our special needs daughter, without the
worries. We can breathe and enjoy the
music and give her a truly high caliber
experience we’d normally not be able to
provide due to her challenges.”
— Passport Program Member
