Bank of America Commitment Ensures Free Access for All

June 26, 2008 - Sacramento, CA -Through the generous support of Bank of America, the Crocker Art Museum is offering free admission hours to visitors on Sundays from 10 a.m.-1 p.m. The free admission program was slated to be modified or eliminated beginning in July due to the lack of a corporate sponsor before Bank of America's commitment.

"The Crocker is grateful to Bank of America and its commitment to the Museum and promoting the arts across the nation," said Lial A. Jones, Museum Director. "Providing free admission hours is the best way to ensure access to everyone in the community. Last year, more than 26,000 individuals entered the Museum during Sunday Free Hours."

"Bank of America is committed to improving access to the arts," said Eric Stanion, Market Development Manager. "Free Admission Sundays at the Crocker Art Museum are a great resource for individuals and families who might not be able to visit otherwise."

Bank of America has been a long-time supporter of arts and culture nationally. The Bank's acclaimed Museums On UsT program has enabled Bank of America cardholders to receive free admission at some of the finest cultural institutions for the past 11 years in select cities during the month of May. In May 2008, the program was expanded into a national, year-long program that includes the Crocker.

The Crocker Art Museum was founded in 1885 and continues as the leading art institution for the California Capital Region and Central Valley. The Museum offers a diverse spectrum of special exhibitions, events and programs to augment its collections of California, European and Asian artworks. The Crocker is located at 216 O Street in Downtown Sacramento. Museum hours are 10 a.m.-5 p.m., Tuesday-Sunday; 1st and 3rd Thursdays until 9 p.m. Free admission on Sundays from 10 AM-1 PM is made possible through the support of Bank of America. For more information on exhibits and events call (916) 808-7000 or visit crockerartmuseum.org.
