Act One Culture Passes: Home

Culture Passes allow people the opportunity to explore community and state gardens, museums, and attractions for free by simply checking out passes from the library.

What are Culture Passes?

Explore the Arts for Free!

The Act One Culture Pass program is a partnership between Act One, the library, and local and statewide cultural and art institutions. The Culture Pass allows:

  • Students, staff, and community members get free admission for 2 to any of the participating museums, gardens, or performances.
  • Individuals are allowed to check out 1 pass at a time, 2 passes in a 30 day period
  • Passes are good for one use within a week of check out.  

Please be aware that Culture Passes are only valid for General Admissions, any special exhibits or hours do not qualify under the pass.
