Throughout the year Art & Film is able to offer free seats to a variety of cultural events. All middle school, high school and college students are eligible.

These seats are donated by the cultural institutions, many of which have worked with us since our inception in 1993.

Sometimes we are offered seats only a few days in advance so we use our mailing list to announce the events. To get on our list, click the JOIN button to the left. When an event appeals to you, simply reply to the email to request a seat. Seats are given on a first-come-first-served basis. Popular events can fill up in just a few hours after the announcement's been sent out so students have to keep on top of their email inbox and respond quickly.

Students may bring their parents, but parents must understand that students always have priority and that they cannot be seated until all students have received their tickets. Events with very limited seats are listed in our emails as “for students only”.

We want to be sure we use all the tickets given to us, so students must show up on time in order to be guaranteed a ticket.
