What is the Cultural Currency Card?
The Arts Council of Greater Baton Rouge is excited to announce the launch of the Cultural Currency Card, a new initiative designed to strengthen the connection between local businesses and our vibrant arts community. In collaboration with participating businesses throughout the area, this program offers cardholders an exclusive 15% discount at each participating location (with some vendor exceptions at their discretion).
Here’s how it works:
Get Your Card: Pick up your Cultural Currency Card from the Arts Council or a participating business.
Shop & Save: Present your card at any participating business to receive 15% off your purchase.
Get Your Card Punched: Each time you make a purchase, get your card punched by the vendor.
Collect All 13: Once your card is fully punched after visiting all 13 participating businesses, bring it to the Arts Council to receive a special surprise gift!
This unique collaboration supports local artists, fosters community engagement, and promotes Baton Rouge’s vibrant cultural scene. It’s a great way to enjoy discounts while supporting the arts and local commerce. We encourage you to explore new businesses, enjoy some savings, and discover exciting cultural experiences along the way!
