The 2020 Virtual Cultural Pass offers families in Greater Louisville with children ages 0-21 access to participate in arts and cultural activities provided by nearly 50 venues, free of charge, from June 1 through August 8, 2020. The purpose of the program is to inspire, to explore,to discover; and this year we’re going virtual, which means families can access the content over and over again throughout the summer from the comfort of their homes. Created from Vision Louisville, the Cultural Pass is an innovative initiative to promote art and culture and improve summer learning in our community.
