SALINA ORGANIZATIONS CELEBRATE ANNIVERSARIES WITH COMMUNITY ACTIVITY:

A PASSPORT TO THE ARTS

Several Salina arts organizations invite the public to join them in celebrating their anniversaries through an engaging community activity: “Passport to the Arts.”

Participants are encouraged to visit the Salina Symphony, Theatre Salina, Salina Arts & Humanities, and the Smoky Hill Museum. By engaging with each organization, community members will collect unique hole punches on a designated punch card—each representing a successful visit to these cultural organizations.

Completion of the punch card enters you into a drawing for one of four exclusive gift packages. Each package contains special items or event tickets from two of the participating organizations, ensuring winners enjoy a variety of cultural experiences.

Activity Details:

Dates: October 6-31
Cost: Free to participate
Instructions: Start by visiting any participating organization to collect your punch card. Fill out the back of the punch card, get your first punch, and proceed to visit the other locations.
