Over the past two years, I\u2019ve visited parks, galleries, and museums across Ohio, Kentucky, Arizona, Utah, New York, Canada, and California. These visits\u2014with family, colleagues, and solo\u2014have further inspired me to encourage others to take time to do the same.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Our museum is proud to be free and open to all\u2014FREE admission. But many museums aren\u2019t free, and for some, visiting can feel out of reach due to cost or unfamiliarity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Research shows many people don\u2019t see museums as part of their world for these reasons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That\u2019s why I want to highlight the benefits of Art Museum membership at our Reciprocal level. For $100 per year, you gain access to the North American Reciprocal Museum (NARM*) program, which offers free or discounted admission to over 1,600 museums and cultural institutions across North America. It\u2019s a wonderful way to explore art and culture far beyond our community\u2014and it\u2019s our most popular membership level for good reason. (Like our most recent free visit to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland, a $100 value).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Supporting RCCAM happens in many ways: through donations at the front desk when you visit, by joining one of our membership levels, or by volunteering your time. Your support helps sustain our mission while inviting you to create your own unforgettable museum experiences\u2014whether nearby or on your travels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I encourage you to spend the rest of this year increasing your museum visits, show your support by visiting, inviting friends and family, spreading the word, leaving a review, joining and maybe even volunteering\u2014your life will be richer for it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">*LEARN MORE AT TINYURL.COM\/MYNARMJOY<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"153\" height=\"32\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-35\" src=\"http:\/\/sites.miamioh.edu\/visualarts\/files\/2016\/12\/Krazl-Signature.jpg\" alt=\"Krazl Signature\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sites.miamioh.edu\/visualarts\/files\/2016\/12\/Krazl-Signature.jpg 153w, https:\/\/sites.miamioh.edu\/visualarts\/files\/2016\/12\/Krazl-Signature-150x32.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 153px) 100vw, 153px\" \/><br>Sherri Krazl, Editor<br>Marketing\/Communications<br>Richard and Carole Cocks Art Museum<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>Our Fall 2025 issue of Visual Arts at Miami is out now!
