Let's fight the Met's New                    Out-of-Towner $25 Entry Fee

The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City is
​one of America's Greatest Treasures--
It should be open to everyone for whatever they can afford to pay

The Metropolitan Museum of Art is one of New York's greatest attractions. It also contains some of the best art in the world...Its treasures should be accessible to everyone without a fee (if they can't afford it)--not just "free" to those who live in New York City itself.

Furthermore, this $25 out-of-towner entry fee is not only wrong in terms of art itself, it is also elitist and regressive. The trustees are clearly stating that "art is for the rich" or "art is for who can afford it." The donors gave these treasures to the museum   so the public could see them and not be excluded by this type of entry fee.  

Finally, as I understand it, the irony is that these fees will not put a big dent in the deficit faced by the Museum. So, the trustees should find other ways to close the gap.
As an art lover and critic, I say -- LET'S FIGHT BACK!

    Dear Art and
    Music Lover:


    Welcome to my blog. 
    Enjoy my previews of upcoming art exhibitions,  concerts, jazz events--and other cultural opportunties-all part of the wonderful cornecopia of art and music available to us on the Gold Coast.  

    There is so much to see and hear in Palm Beach County around the year that it's sometimes impossible to decide what to do next.

    I hope my blog will help you plan your cultural weekends more successfully. And I also hope you will enjoy  the highlights I bring you of of some of the events you may have missed.
