Philbrook Museum

Philbrook Museum of Art will use its grant to support the “Free 2nd Saturdays” program. “Free 2nd Saturdays” addresses the challenge of diverse family museum attendance. Honored as the 2010 Outstanding Education Program by the Oklahoma Museums Association, “Free 2nd Saturdays” provides free admission and family activities each month. The program strives to reach an audience that reflects the racial, ethnic, and socio-economic diversity of Tulsa. Outcomes for the program include providing an exceptional family-focused arts experience, encouraging repeat visits, reducing barriers to access; reaching diverse segments of the community, encouraging participants to deepen their engagement with the museum, and contributing to overall museum attendance.
