ST.
GEORGE (May 22, 2013) – The St. George Art Museum has announced a collaboration
with the National Endowment for the Arts, Blue Star Families, and the U. S.
Department of Defense. The local fine
art museum is among more than 1,800 Blue Star Museums participating in all 50
states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico and American Samoa.
As
a Blue Star Museum, the St. George Art Museum is pleased to be able to offer
free admission to all active duty military personnel and their families from
Memorial Day through Labor Day 2013. Free
admission is available upon presentation of a Geneva Convention common access
card, a DD Form 1173 ID card or a DD Form 1173-1 ID card from any active duty member
of the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps, Coast Guard, as well as those
currently serving in the National Guard and Reserve – up to 5 members per family.
“When the call for museums to participate in the first Blue
Star Program, St. George Art Museum signed up immediately,” said Deborah
Reeder, Museum Curator.
“The military is actively working hard to make us safe in
America. The St. George Art Museum and the City of St. George are pleased to do
something in return for the men, women and their families of those who serve,”
she adds.
