Project Description
San Diego Museum Council would use CAC funds to present three major regional programs that remove economic barriers for families throughout the San Diego region:
– Museum Month in February (half-off admission for all)
– The Big Exchange in May (free reciprocal member admission)
– Kids Free San Diego in October (free admission for ages 12 and under).
We are small yet have a big impact. Last year, we served more 220,000 people including more than 40,000 people in historically and systemically underserved communities and rural and inland areas of San Diego County (lower two quartiles of CA Healthy Places Index), plus more in the Tijuana cross-border region.
Funding will also help provide professional development, marketing support, networking, free artist housing/event space, and advocacy for more than 80 museums and cultural sites in the San Diego region.
