The Oklahoma City Museum of Art (OKCMOA) has announced the renewal of its partnership with Bank of America through the Museums on Us program for 2025. This collaboration is aimed at making art and culture accessible to the public while supporting OKCMOA's mission to enhance lives through visual arts.

As part of the Museums on Us program, cardholders from Bank of America, Merrill, and Bank of America Private Bank can enjoy free general admission to OKCMOA's galleries during the first full weekend each month by presenting an active card along with a photo ID. The initiative allows visitors to explore world-class exhibitions without any charge.

"Bank of America cardholders who visit OKCMOA will have exciting exhibitions to look forward to in the coming year, including From the Vault: The 80th Anniversary Exhibition and Discovering Ansel Adams, opening June 7," stated Michael Anderson, PhD, President and CEO of OKCMOA.

In addition to providing free access through Museums on Us, Bank of America also supports art conservation efforts at OKCMOA. Last year, the museum received funding via Bank of America's Art Conservation Project, which aids nonprofit cultural institutions in preserving significant artworks at risk of deterioration. With this grant, OKCMOA conserved Khufu (1965), an acrylic painting by Sam Gilliam. This piece is now displayed as part of From the Vault: The 80th Anniversary Exhibition.

"Oklahoma City museums, including OKCMOA, serve as a cornerstone of our city," said Tony Shinn, President of Bank of America Oklahoma City. "Providing support through programs such as Museums on Us and the Art Conservation Project to OKCMOA is just one way we are helping improve quality of life in communities we serve."

Bank of America Oklahoma City has supported arts initiatives for over a decade by offering bank-curated exhibitions and granting curators access to its art inventory. Now that Khufu's conservation is complete, it is featured in OKCMOA’s eightieth-anniversary exhibition alongside works from its permanent collection.

Visitors using their free Museums on Us pass can view current installations like Postwar Abstraction and Land Use: Humanity’s Interaction with Nature. Additionally, they can see Dale Chihuly: The Oklahoma Collection when it opens on March 8.
