About Access for All:
The New Britain Museum of American Art is one of the 64 institutions nationwide chosen to receive a three-year “Access for All” grant from Art Bridges Foundation, the national arts nonprofit founded by philanthropist Alice Walton. The initiative aims to increase access to museums 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, together, will eliminate many common barriers to access. Through this generous funding, the New Britain Museum of American Art will provide free admission to all on the third Saturday of every month (except our kickoff event, which is on the Monday of MLK Day). Additionally, the Museum will offer programming and engagement opportunities on these days curated to deepen the community’s connection with American art.
