Saginaw County, MI – The Saginaw Intermediate School District (ISD) expresses profound gratitude for the community's continued support and involvement in the Arts for All initiative, which plays a pivotal role in enriching Saginaw County and fostering a vibrant environment for all families. In a significant development, the initiative has expanded its reach to the Temple Theatre by now including free admission to the Saginaw Silver Screen movies for students within the Saginaw County school districts and a guest of their choice. This new offering aims to open doors to cinematic experiences that celebrate creativity, storytelling, and artistic expression, fostering a deep-seated appreciation for the arts among young minds.
The partnership between the Saginaw Art Museum's Arts for All and Saginaw ISD has already made strides by offering free student memberships, organizing educational field trips, and hosting youth-centric programming. To partake in this free initiative, students and their accompanying parent or guardian are invited to sign up for the Arts for All Membership Card, which remains active through their P-12 educational journey. The membership can be obtained upon visiting the Temple Theatre or the Saginaw Art Museum during regular hours. This initiative underscores our dedication to embedding the value of arts in the community's fabric, hoping to inspire a lifelong journey of artistic exploration and appreciation. For more information on how to engage with this enriching program, please visit the Saginaw Art Museum website or contact them directly.
