From the (blissfully air-conditioned) galleries to concerts, group exercise, family activities, and more, the CMA has a ton to offer SC residents this summer — admission-free.

Did you take advantage of free summer at the CMA last year? Whether it was your go-to way to beat the heat or you spent all of September kicking yourself for missing out, we have good news:

Thanks to a generous grant from Art Bridges Foundation’s Access for All program, free admission for SC residents is back this summer, May 24-August 31.

From this summer’s featured exhibitions to hands-on activities in The Cross Hatch and a stacked schedule of events, there’s plenty to enjoy.
