For over 25 years, the Art Museum has proudly offered free admission to everyone—thanks to the generosity of our visitors, members and sponsors. This open-door tradition allowed us to share the power of art with thousands of guests each year, regardless of circumstance.
As we look to the future, your admission fee helps to support the Art Museum’s impactful exhibitions, educational programs and creative opportunities for our community. Every ticket supports not only the arts—but also the artists, students and stories that make this Museum a special place
Starting June 14th, 2025, we will begin charging general admission to the Art Museum.
