The Greensboro Public Library and Creative Greensboro have partnered to launch the Greensboro Culture Pass Program — a citywide marketing initiative designed to highlight and expand access to free cultural and artistic events offered by local creatives and cultural organizations this summer.

Through these partnerships, residents of all ages gain greater access to arts, culture, and educational opportunities. A limited number of passes are available free of charge at the Central Branch Library, 219 N. Church St. Patrons can visit the first-floor service desk and request a Culture Pass for their preferred venue.

If you offer free cultural programming and are interested in participating in the Culture Pass Program, please contact Jocquelyn Boone at Jocquelyn.boone@greensboro-nc.gov or call 336-373-7998.
