Free for all
This morning, four of Grand Rapids’ finest cultural institutions announced a collaboration, titled “Museums Free 4 All,” to offer free admission on four Sundays in 2012.
January 22 is the first of these dates in which the Grand Rapids Children’s Museum, Grand Rapids Public Museum, Gerald R. Ford Presidential Museum and Grand Rapids Art Museum will welcome the region’s residents for free from noon to 5 pm.
Amway is one of two major co-sponsors whose donation made this collaboration possible. Through it, a family of five who goes to one museum on each free Sunday could save as much as $114 this year.
Said Global Amway Brand Manager David Madiol, “We know how fortunate we are to have world-class cultural facilities right here in the backyard of Amway. We believe in so many things this program stands for, such as affordable family time; collaborations that benefit our community; and of course, the chance for more kids to understand the ways art, play and history impact our society. We’re excited to be a part of this.”
