We promote all partners in the network to ensure our members use their card to visit you – increasing your visitor footfall.
What is the National Art Pass network?
We work in partnership with a UK-wide network of over 900 museums, galleries, historic houses and other cultural venues, 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, exhibitions or event, and sometimes discounts in the shop or 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.
Meet the team
Our National Art Pass network team is here to work with you and help you promote your venue with Art Fund. We also provide support for Art Happens and Art Tickets.
