Free general admission and enhanced Museum experiences
Thanks to an Access for All grant funded by the Art Bridges Foundation, a national arts nonprofit founded by philanthropist Alice Walton, The San Diego Museum of Art is offering free general admission to all visitors on the second Thursday of each month, starting January 2024, and extending free daily admission to active and veteran military service members with military ID, plus one guest, and all students with student ID.

The goal of Access for All is to make the transformative power of art more accessible for all. Access for All is a $40 million nationwide initiative from Art Bridges Foundation aimed at closing access and opportunity gaps that prevent all communities from experiencing art. This $40 million in funding to 64 art museums and cultural institutions nationwide aims to increase access to art across the country and foster engagement with local communities by covering the costs of free admission days and expanded free hours, as well as programming, outreach, and community partnerships that will eliminate many common barriers to access.
