Free Admission Weekend in Charleston!
Hey there, Charleston! Mark your calendars because this weekend, December 7th and 8th, is the perfect time to get your culture fix without breaking the bank! Thanks to the Bank of America Museums On Us program, cardholders can score free general admission to not just one, but TWO amazing cultural hotspots in our beautiful city. That’s right! Dive into creativity at the International African American Museum (IAAM) and the fantastic Gibbes Museum of Art!
What’s the Deal?
The Museums On Us program happens during the first full weekend of each month, meaning every cardholder can enjoy free access to these iconic venues without spending a dime! This initiative highlights the important role the arts play in connecting people and enriching communities, and it shows how such experiences can positively impact our local economy too. How awesome is that?
Your Ticket to the Arts
To join in on the fun, all you need is your Bank of America, Merrill, or Bank of America Private Bank credit or debit card, along with a valid photo ID. Just present these at either museum, and voilà – you’re in! It’s a straightforward process designed to make art more accessible for all.
However, each of these participating institutions has a slight twist: the free admission applies only to cardholders, so unfortunately, guests and companions won’t qualify for the offer. It’s a sweet perk just for those who hold a card. Another thing to keep in mind is that this offer doesn’t cover any special events, exhibitions, or ticketed shows, so make sure you check out what’s on display during your visit!
Explore the Museums
Let’s talk about what you can expect at the IAAM and the Gibbes Museum of Art! At the International African American Museum, you’ll get a chance to explore exhibits that celebrate the rich history and cultural contributions of African Americans. With interactive displays and engaging narratives, this museum is a powerful reminder of resilience and triumph.
On the other hand, the Gibbes Museum of Art offers an extensive collection of American art, with a focus on Southern works. Wander through its galleries filled with beautiful artwork that tells the story of our region’s history. Whether you’re an art enthusiast or just curious, there’s something for everyone to enjoy!
Getting There
Not sure where to go? No problem! Bank of America has a handy location finder tool on its website to help you discover participating cultural attractions across Charleston. Just type in your area, and who knows what hidden gems you might uncover while soaking in the local culture!
Plan Your Weekend
Make it a plan this weekend to embrace the artistic vibe of Charleston. Pick up your family or friends, and explore what our city has to offer! Remember to check with each museum directly for their hours and any current admission guidelines before you go. With free entries happening this Saturday and Sunday, there’s really no excuse not to experience Charleston’s rich cultural landscape.
So, grab your Bank of America card and get ready to step into a world of art and history. Enjoy your adventure and make the most of the wonders that await you in our charming city!
