The High Museum of Art is not only a popular attraction in Atlanta, it’s an organization that is committed to making the arts accessible to everyone in the community, regardless of income or demographics.
For many years now, the High Museum has opened its doors to all with a monthly FREE admission program, known as Second Sundays. The High also participates in Bank of America’s Museums on Us program, which allows any BOA cardholder to visit for free on the first weekend of each month.
Now, the High Museum is launching Access for All, a new day of FREE admission that features special programming on a drop-in basis. The program will kick off on Wednesday, January 17, 2024.
It will then take place on the third Wednesday of each month.
Access for All is currently funded through 2026, so you’ll have plenty of opportunities to experience it!
