e extend a special thanks to UMB Bank, whose profound generosity has made it possible for the Museum to reduce admission for all visitors younger than 18 from $14 to the institution’s field-trip rate of $5 per youth. The new program, known as PhxArt Field Trip for Kids, launched in October 2020 and supports this discounted youth-admission rate through January 31, 2021. The program was designed to support families hit hardest by the impacts of COVID-19 by providing them with an affordable way to explore the Museum together with their children. Through the support of corporate donors, the Museum is able to remove economic barriers that might otherwise impede working families from connecting with arts and culture. Phoenix Art Museum is deeply grateful as well for the generosity of Dr. Hong and Doris Ong and Nancy Hanley Eriksson, who have provided the funds necessary to support the Military Access Program (MAP@PAM) at Phoenix Art Museum for the next two years. The program provides free admission to veterans and active-duty military service members as well as their immediate families, an expression of our gratitude for their service both to our country and within our community. The MAP@PAM program begins on January 1, 2021 and runs through December 31, 2022. Phoenix Art Museum is also grateful to SRP and the Angela and Leonard Singer Endowment for Performing Arts, in addition to Circles of Support donors and Museum Members, whose annual support helps to fund other community-aid and arts-education programs, including our weekly voluntary-donation periods on Wednesdays from 3 – 7 pm and First Fridays from 3 – 7 pm.
