Get to know the finest art museum in all of Jacksonville, Florida. The Cummer Museum of Art & Gardens
announces the launch of Free Fridays, presented by PNC Bank. The Museum will offer free admission to its
permanent collection and gardens during new extended hours, 4 to 9 p.m. every
Friday, providing a new way for the community to kick-off the weekend.
This announcement builds upon the success of the Museum’s inaugural Summer
Fridays program, which was also presented by PNC Bank. Over the past three months, the Museum
provided free admission and programming every Friday evening. The campaign drew approximately 9,000 visitors
to the Museum, including more than 1,200 visitors during its final week — representing
a 25% increase in visitation compared to the same period in 2018.
“The Cummer Museum of Art is one of the great cultural resources of this city,” said PNC Regional President for Port Cities Brian Bucher. “Free Fridays not only complements the Museum's permanent, stunning collection, but provides access to quality, visual art experiences, while supporting the cultural vitality of this region."
“With the success of our extended Summer Friday hours, we learned that the community embraced the chance to visit the Museum during evening hours,” said Adam Levine, the Cummer Museum’s George W. and Kathleen I. Gibbs Director & Chief Executive Officer. “With the generous support of PNC Bank, we look forward to continuing Summer Fridays year-round as a fun, engaging and accessible experience for the community.”
Guests will be able to purchase food and beverages (including beer, wine and cocktails) from the Cummer Café during Free Fridays. Additional experiences, such as admission to signature exhibitions, will be available for purchase.
