Pérez Art Museum Miami (PAMM) has announced the launch of the PAMM Student Pass, in partnership with Miami-Dade County Public Schools (M-DCPS), which grants free admission to the museum for all M-DCPS Pre-K-12th grade students.

Schools Superintendent Alberto M. Carvalho and PAMM Director Franklin Sirmans made the historic announcement at a news conference and explained that the Student Pass holders may also bring one adult guest for free with them.

“Education is at the core of what we do and we try to make that a part of every single thing that we do. We call ourselves a 21st century museum because we believe that 21st century museums are dynamic spaces and here to be a part of conversations that are important to our community. It begins with our thought-provoking exhibitions and arts education programs,” said Sirmans.

“I believe strongly that early exposure to art not only opens a child’s heart and mind to creativity and ingenuity, but also sharpens critical thinking and other skills that help students learn content across the educational disciplines,” said Carvalho.
