Columbus Museum of Art kicks off free-admission campaign for local youth, caregivers

After a year of educational disruptions and social disconnection, the Columbus Museum of Art is offering a free admission program this summer for local youth, Columbus City Schools students and their caregivers.

To "renew their experience of wonder," the museum's WonderPass program applies research-based engagement strategies to nurture K-12 students’ own sense of joy, meaning and possibility, according to a press release. These strategies will be exercised through several experiences aimed at fostering discovery and innovative thinking.

Funded by a $75,000 grant from the Battelle STEM Grant Program, WonderPass participants will have free access to general and special exhibitions through Sept. 5. 

Youth admission can be reserved through CMA's website, and adult caregivers of CCS students can enter the coupon code CCS2021 at checkout to waive their ticket costs.
