Free admission every weekend until end of 2021
(Calgary, AB — July 19, 2021) Today, the National Music Centre (NMC) is announcing that it will be partnering to offer free admission to Studio Bell on weekends for the remainder of 2021, courtesy of ATB.
Free tickets can be booked at studiobell.ca/visitor-information. To ensure the health and safety of our staff, volunteers, and visitors, Studio Bell will continue to encourage public health recommendations. These include mask usage indoors and one-way traffic within the building, as well as the ongoing closure of high-touch areas. These restrictions will be phased out gradually.
“As we continue to move toward recovery and think about our future together, we want to thank our community for their ongoing support by making Studio Bell more accessible to the public,” said Andrew Mosker, President and CEO of NMC. “Offering free admission will give more Calgarians, Albertans, and visitors to our city the opportunity to visit Studio Bell, experience the power of music, and celebrate our five-year anniversary with us.”
