UAMA offers free admission to all beginning in Spring 2026

After completing installation of a new, state-of-the-art HVAC system, the UAMA reopens on Jan. 17 with a transformative policy change — free admission for all.

Made possible through the generous support of museum members and donors, UAMA’s shift to free admission underscores its commitment to increased accessibility. While those on campus have enjoyed free admission, the museum is pleased to extend that privilege to the broader community, eliminating financial barriers for everyone. This change will enhance UAMA's contributions to the vibrant and creative culture of Tucson and Southern Arizona, reinforcing its role as a public resource where art can inspire, educate and connect people across backgrounds.

"This is a pivotal moment for the museum," said Chelsea Farrar, Interim Director of UAMA. "We're not just reopening the museum — we're opening doors to everyone."
