AccessforAll

In 2024, Art Bridges Foundation launched its Access for All pilot program—a transformative, three-year funding initiative that aims to increase access to museums across America and foster engagement with local audiences. The $40 million initiative provides support to 64 museums by covering the costs of admission, programming, marketing, outreach, and additional efforts that reduce barriers to access.

FREE ADMISSION & PROGRAMMING

Access for All embodies Art Bridges’ core values by helping museums build relationships with new audiences, engage current audiences in new ways, and emphasize interdisciplinary programming.

The pilot program supports museums by underwriting admission fees on designated Access for All days, covering admission costs for extended hours, or making daily admission free for local visitors.

Access for All even goes beyond free admission by collaborating with museums to create transformative, interdisciplinary, and audience-building programming. Awardees are designing unique events that resonate with their local communities, offering performances, artmaking projects, interpretive activities in their galleries, and more. By providing such compelling programming, participating museums can draw in new audiences. In the first year of implementation, they have welcomed 7,102,308 visitors.

MARKETING & OUTREACH

Access for All addresses the need for effective marketing and outreach to ensure that all communities are aware of and feel welcome at our partner museums. Access for All awards support museums in reaching out to these communities using new avenues and marketing methods that prioritize access.
