July 2025 Arts and Culture Events Guide
Your Coast-to-Coast Guide to 45+ Art Exhibitions, Cultural Events & More!
Welcome back to another edition of the Arts and Culture Events Guide! When the summer heat hits, there’s no better escape than stepping into an art museum or gallery.
I always believe sharing is caring so letting you know something (OG subscribers, already know!). Bank of America cardholders get free general admission to cultural institutions across the U.S. during the first full weekend of every month through their Museums on Us program. And with a long weekend coming up, the next chance to use this perk is July 5th and 6th. You can check their website for all the details. For full transparency, this isn’t sponsored… but! In a dream world, it absolutely would be. Now, let’s dive into the events!
