Performing heARTS.org provides =access to life enriching art experiences for all audiences. Performing heARTS.org makes the performing arts accessible to all people, regardless of their physical, mental and/or economic situations.

Performing heARTS.org, a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organization with newly created offices in San Francisco, CA; Phoenix, AZ; Duluth, MN; Miami, FL; Houston, TX; and Chicago, IL and Tampa-St. Pete, FL, with the help of grants and generous donations, pays artists to entertain audiences in resthomes, hospitals, retirement communities, any location with people who have less than =access to live performances. Last year we began a public awareness campaign in Seattle with the T5 Sessions at the Jack Block Park (click to see it in 3D at flavorj.com, or take the virtual tours on the left). Those sessions offered a chance for our clients to view and select performers for their facilities.

This newly created park with its spectacualar views of Seattle, has been given GoNorthwest.com's highest ratings for its views and amenities. The Jack Block Park is uniquely wheelchair accessible. Landscaped trails take you to the tops of viewpoints with little or no assistance. There you can reach out and touch the downtown waterfront. The Performing heARTS' Pier and other facilities are second to none in the Seattle area.

This year the T5 Sessions will begin at 11:00 AM on Saturday, July 2nd until 8:00 PM, and then repeat themselves on Sunday, July 3rd. On the Fourth of July the Performing heARTS Pier will host NW talent until 5:00 PM.
