We believe the arts are for everyone. By providing personal choice on ticket pricing, we seek to reduce barriers to the arts. Please choose the ticket price that is right for you based on your own needs. If you are able, please consider paying access sponsor pricing, which generously supports these efforts to provide access to our communities.
ACCESSIBILITYWe strive to host inclusive, accessible events that enable all individuals, including individuals with disabilities, to engage fully. If you have questions about accessibility or require an accommodation such as CART captioning or ASL interpretation to participate, please email accessibility@wexarts.org or call (614) 688-3890. Requests made by two weeks in advance will generally allow us to provide seamless access, but the Wexner Center for the Arts will make every effort to meet requests made after this date.
