Free Access to Local Arts, Museums, and Culture Attractions
Apart from books, your local library is full of so many other great resources, including Culture Passes which will grant you access to a plethora of local museums, art galleries, botanical gardens, and more.
What are Culture Passes?
Act One’s Culture Pass provides access to the arts for students, retirees, and under-resourced families to visit Arizona’s arts and cultural treasures.
Act One partners with over 150 libraries statewide to allow library cardholders the opportunity to check out free passes. Over 500,000 passes are offered annually. Visit your local library to check out a pass today!
How Do Culture Passes Work?
- You must have a library card for one of the participating libraries.
- Find the display of culture passes at your local library and bring your selection up to the checkout counter.
- Each pass is redeemable for two general admission tickets.
- You have one week to use your tickets. Limited to one per household at a time, two per month.
- Passes are available at a first come, first served basis.
