Partnerships
YSKP works with other organizations, arts groups, and businesses to develop our theater experiences. This outreach helps YSKP to broaden, deepen, and diversify its theatre experience as outlined in the Ohio Arts Council Cultural Participation Policy. The essence of the study encourages arts organizations to develop targeted strategies to reach diverse groups of participants, increase their involvement in and with the arts, developing a greater public value for the arts.
