About Free First Thursdays

Thanks to generous support from the Art Bridges Foundation’s Access for All program, admission to the Portland Art Museum is free on the first Thursday of every month, from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m.

Everybody is an Art Person! Whether it’s your first visit or your fiftieth, Free First Thursday is an invitation to explore, discover, and connect with art in your own way. Enjoy the galleries at your own pace, with occasional special programs featuring community partners and hands-on art-making activities. No art background required, just curiosity!

Tickets: Check the Museum’s website for monthly program details. Tickets are available online one week in advance or at the door.
