Stark Foundation enhances programs, membership​s

 

Last updated 12/7/2012 at Noon

The Nelda C. and H.J. Lutcher Stark Foundation is excited to announce a new brand and website that unite their venues-Stark Museum of Art, Shangri La Botanical Gardens and Nature Center, The W.H. Stark House and Frances Ann Lutcher Theater for the Performing Arts-under a single brand of STARK Cultural Venues and website at www.starkculturalvenues.org.

The new website allows visitors to easily navigate from one venue to another to locate information and has a comprehensive calendar of events, where one can easily see upcoming events at all of the STARK Cultural Venues. In addition, a new membership program has been developed, which offers a year of free admission, program participation opportunities and other member benefits at all its venues. The new STARK Cultural Venues membership program begins in January 2013. These efforts and others are being implemented to provide a more cohesive offering of the STARK Cultural Venues to the public and its members.

As part of these efforts, a new admission system is being implemented, and on January 11, 2013, admission fees are changing to bring consistency and value to each program area. As we work behind-the-scenes configuring this new system, the dates of January 8, 9 and 10 will be free days at all venues, with the exception of Lutcher Theater. Through this new admission system, any visitor who purchases an admission ticket to more than one venue will receive a dollar off the admission cost at each venue.
