Discover A.C.T. Day Aims to Give Philly Students Free Access to the Arts

Discover A.C.T. (Art and Culture for Teens) Day, a partnership between The Greater Philadelphia Cultural Alliance’s STAMP program and the University of the Arts Pre-College Program, will offer a free resource fair of arts & culture opportunities just for teens at the UArts Hamilton Hall on Saturday, March 15th. 

“With continued pressure on arts education funding in our schools, the cultural community is increasingly becoming the best resource for quality cultural experiences for kids,” said Alliance Interim Executive Director Michael Norris in a press release.

“This event represents a one-stop opportunity to learn about all the great experiences for young people at our cultural attractions.”

Representatives from after-school programs, classes and summer camps will be present at the fair. Teens between the age of 14 and 19 will be able to pick up Greater Philadelphia Cultural Alliance STAMP Pass at the event and enter to win free tuition for a class during the next semester of UArts Saturday School.

The STAMP pass is good for admission to 12 different museums throughout Philadelphia.

In addition, the Cultural Alliance is listing discount classes, camps, and other opportunities for families on Funsavers.org, offering up to 50% off on great classes and camps all summer for kids and families as well special discounts on memberships to local museums and attractions from March 14 through April 4.
