Saving money is always good, but right now it is more important than ever most individuals. Even those who are fortunate enough to have secure employment are looking for ways to cut back as the country waits for signs of an economic recovery, or at least a reversal in their 401k balances.
Maybe you’ve started going to matinee movies, or have taken to only renting (those grocery machines are a deal at $1/day). Either way you’re trying to squeeze more from the monthy buget. Well here is some good news for everyone trying to save a buck…the Arts Council is FREE!
That’s right all our exhibits are offered to the public free of charge. In addition our annual events such as the Artists Garage Sale, Fresh Paint Festival, and Gal-aPalooza are all admission free.
Our exhibit openings are a very inexpensive evening out. Where else could you take in fabulous regional artwork, sample a few appetizers, and have a glass of wine for next to nothing! It’s hard to beat $3 for a glass of wine.
Check out out calendar of exhibits and events for great FREE activities.
