Ballet Victoria will use this grant to build capacity for its Tea for Tutu program and further increase cultural exposure for up to 700 beneficiaries in 2014. The project will provide seniors and youth (who have mobility and financial access issues) with access to four community performances. The events also include social time and mingling with artists and technicians. The funding will help support a volunteer ccoordinator/production assistant to plan the events, conduct outreach to agencies and seniors residences, and forge partnerships to make the program sustainable.
