Promote your venue

What is the National Art Pass network?

  • We work in partnership with a UK-wide network of more than 850 museums, galleries and historic houses, known as the National Art Pass network 

  • The National Art Pass is a card that allows Art Fund members to gain free entry or half-price admission, and sometimes discounts in the shop of café  

  • We promote all partners in the network to ensure our members use their card to visit you – increasing your visitor footfall 

  • And the really great part – all profits we make from sales of the National Art Pass go towards funding our grant-giving programme, enabling OUR partners to do more
