Art exists to be explored, experienced and appreciated by everyone. Arts Access is an annual outreach program sponsored by ArtsMemphis that ensures the arts are available to those who can't always afford the price of admission. Thanks to more than 30 participating arts organizations, free tickets to arts events and exhibits are available year-round for TennCare/Church Health Center patients and Food Stamp recipients.
The Arts Access Booklet was made possible through the generous support of Baptist Memorial Healthcare.
