Arts Assist Ticket and Travel Subsidy Program
Sydney Opera House is committed to providing the very best national and international performing arts experiences to NSW students as part of their educational studies.
The Sydney Opera House Arts Assist program provides up to $30 per student to visit and participate in Creative Learning programs - that is the full cost of the Creative Learning performance ticket and a contribution toward travel costs. Sydney Opera House strives to make performances welcome and available to everyone, so there is a dedicated accessible season of performances for schools and groups.
Please join us in thanking our generous donors and The University of Sydney who support our Arts Assist program.
