Three museums in Rhode Island already participate in Museums on Us: the Rhode Island Historical Society’s Museum of Work and & Culture in Woonsocket; the Providence Children’s Museum; and the Rhode Island School of Design’s RISD Museum in Providence. The Mashantucket Pequot Museum in Connecticut is another return participant.

New participants this year will include sites in Atlanta, Baltimore, Charlotte, Chicago, Dallas/Fort Worth, Detroit, Houston, Seattle, Silicon Valley and Phoenix, where visitors and residents will have the chance to participate for the first time.

“Bank of America is committed to improving access to the arts and Museums on Us is a key component of that outreach,” said Rena M. DeSisto, arts and Culture Executive, Bank of America. “We are thrilled to expand this program – both in scope and geography – so more individuals can experience art and culture at some of the finest museums in the country. Programs like this are important to how Bank of America creates new opportunities for our customers and communities.”

Participating institutions will benefit from added exposure through an integrated marketing campaign funded by Bank of America that will promote their involvement. The marketing support increases museum visitor levels, gift-shop revenue and membership enrollment, the bank said.
