At UC BERKELEY:

Consortium for the Arts
http://www.bampfa.berkeley.edu/bca/
The organization which actively supports collaborative projects and arts-enriched
education at UC Berkeley.  The Consortium maintains a curriculum archive,
a grant program that will cover ticket costs and special events, and a number of
other resources. For UC Berkeley instructors who wish their students to see shows
at Cal Performances that are related to and will enhance the courses they are teaching,
the Consortium can arrange highly discounted ticket prices.
Contact Associate Director Michele Rabkin at micheler@berkeley.edu
or (510) 642-4268 for more information.

Pacific Film Archive Subvention Fund Program
UC Berkeley instructors can apply for free tickets to bring their students to screenings
and events at the Pacific Film Archive that are related to the courses they are teaching.
PFA curators are happy to provide advance information about scheduled screenings
or to discuss future programming possibilities. In order to qualify for the student subvention,
attendance at the screening(s) must be a required (not merely recommended) part of the course.
Subvention funding is limited; interested instructors should contact PFA Theater Manager
Becky Mertens at bmertens@berkeley.edu or 643-2197 as far in advance as possible
to determine if funding is available. Once a subvention request is approved by the PFA
curatorial department, the box office staff will request an official course roster, listed alphabetically,
and students will be able to pick up their free tickets at the theater by showing their student identification.
