The non-profit Article 27 has made it its mission to guarantee access to culture for anyone facing a difficult social and/or economic situation. It acts on the cost of cultural activities through reduced admission prices offered by cultural operators and a compensation fund financed by public authorities and social organisations. Users thus contribute €1.25 towards activities – originally the price of a loaf of bread, affirming the equivalence between physical and spiritual nourishment.
Since its creation, around 1,000,000 tickets have been used by audiences attending more than 1,400 cultural operators in the Fédération Wallonie-Bruxelles.
At LE PATIO, the Article 27 ticket, available through CPAS and community social services, can be used for workshops (children, teenagers and adults) and residency showings.
