MMofA Grant Offers Free Thursday Admission

The Mobile Museum of Art (MMofA) recently received a grant from The Caring Foundation of Blue Cross Blue Shield of Alabama to offer free general admission to all Alabama residents every Thursday through September 30. “The success of our summer access program has been fueling record-breaking attendance,” MMofA Executive Director Jon Carfagno said. The announcement follows other initiatives MMofA has embraced this summer to expand its commitment to fostering greater community access. Free Thursdays, supported by the Mobile County Commission, allow Mobile County residents free entry every Thursday. Museums for All allows those receiving Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program benefits and up to four guests to enter. The Blue Star Museums program, running through September 1, provides free admission to active-duty military and veterans and up to four guests. Finally, until August 30, MMofA offers free summer admission to teachers and first responders, who may also bring up to four guests.
