The Attleboro Arts Museum has joined the National Endowment for the Arts in an exciting new initiative – the Blue Star Museum program, a collaboration with Blue Star Families’ Operation Appreciation.

Blue Star Families is a non-profit organization that works to support America’s military families from all branches of the service. The goal of the Blue Star Museums program is to offer free admission to museums across the country for active duty military personnel and their families.

The initiative will begin on Memorial Day, May 31, 2010 and extend through Labor Day, September 6, 2010.

Over a million Americans have deployed to Iraq and Afghanistan, over 900,000 children have said goodbye to a parent at least once since the fighting began, many have endured 2, 3, 4 or more deployments. These families often feel that their sacrifices may seem to go unnoticed. The Blue Star Museum program says to our nation’s military families that the arts community recognizes and honors their contribution, by opening the doors to our nation’s art treasures to those who have been serving so long and so faithfully.

While the Attleboro Arts Museum maintains a free admission policy to all throughout the year, we will be offering special discounts and arts experiences to active duty military personnel and their families during the program period.  We are proud to be a part of this important initiative.

To find out which museums throughout the country are participating, visit www.arts.gov/bluestarmuseums.

The Museum’s Community Gallery is located just inside the Emory Street entrance of Attleboro Arts Museum, 86 Park St., Attleboro, MA.
