Blue Star Musuem

Bristol Art Museum Offers Free Admission to Active-duty Military, National Guard, Reserve and Their Families Through September

Picture
The Bristol Art Museum today announced that it is now designated as a Blue Star Museum. As such, admission to the Museum’s engaging and thought-provoking exhibits is free of charge to active-duty military, National Guard, and Reserve personnel and up to five of their family members.
“The Bristol Art Museum is proud to support those who have decided to put country before self  in the service and protection of our nation and its people,” said Museum Board President Andy Tyska. “As the host town of the nation’s longest-running celebration of freedom and Democracy, extending this deserving offer to active duty personnel is certainly within the spirit of the people of Bristol, Rhode Island. We look forward to welcoming active-duty military, National Guard, and Reserve personnel and their families to the Museum to enjoy some of the finest curated exhibits in the region.”
 
According to Blue Star Families, Blue Star Museums is a collaboration among the National Endowment for the Arts, Blue Star Families, the Department of Defense, and museums across America to offer free admission to the nation’s active-duty military personnel, including the National Guard and Reserves, and their families. The program commenced on Saturday, May 15 and concludes on Labor Day, Monday, September 6.
 
The Bristol Art Museum encourages the creation, promotion, and appreciation of the arts through rotating exhibitions and educational opportunities. Community outreach programs and partnerships are central to its goal of engaging diverse audiences in the arts of the current time. The Museum aims to enrich the cultural life of the community and region through eclectic exhibitions and educational programs, and to be an accessible community resource for future generations.
  • BLM - The Board of Directors of the Bristol Art Museum mourn the senseless death of George Floyd and all the victims of racial injustice. The Board actively supports efforts to bridge racial disparities, to reject racism, and to work toward making Bristol a much more culturally rich and inclusive community through the arts. The Board believes art fosters learning, contemplation, and critical discourse; it recognizes positive change is achieved through active engagement with the town and residents. Change happens when communities work together to achieve common goals. Therefore, Bristol Art Museum is committed to developing exhibits and programs around equity, respect, and compassion. These are the organization's guiding principles and touchstones for moving forward.
