"I just want to let everyone at ArtsCard know what a WONDERFUL service they are providing the community at such a nominal cost. My husband and I have recently moved to Atlanta and have been so appreciative of the events that ArtsCard has helped us navigate around, often at reduced costs.

Thank you for running such a great program and for sharing us with your members." – Kristin Dunstan, Managing Director, Atlanta Shakespeare Company at the New American Shakespeare Tavern

"In my opinion, the Arts Card is the best value in Atlanta. My husband and I have attended numerous events that we would have missed had we not invested in the ArtsCard.

I love planning my week full of ArtsCard cultural events! Thanks again!" – Andrea Nix

"We are LOVING our ArtsCard membership. Our financial benefits have already exceeded the cost of the card. Plus, my mom has used her gift membership multiple times as well. This is a terrific program you have created. Not only do sponsors benefit from having fuller audiences, but you are providing an opportunity to sample the wide array of Atlanta culture to an otherwise too-poor or semi-interested public (who might otherwise NOT partake of these offerings). Thank you!!!" – Randi Strumlauf

"How thankful I am for the ArtsCard! Not only are we aware of more art, entertainment and dining and dancing options – but even greater – we save dollars doing what is really fun. Every place we have been with the ArtsCard has been exciting, entertaining, and informative. I want to personally thank the wonderful ArtsCard staff for their superb organization and friendly service. We built stronger relationships by sending the ArtsCard to our friends for Christmas presents. Now we have more friends to enjoy seeing around Atlanta and are discovering how many fun things we can do and save money too! THANK YOU ArtsCard!" – Mike Sigmon, President, Life Enrichment, Inc.
