What About the Children?
September 21st, 2009
As you may know, anyone wearing an ArtPrize wristband can ride the Shuttle and all Rapid buses for free during ArtPrize hours. (Pick up your wristband with your event guide at a voter registration site for $15.)
Many have asked if their children can ride the Shuttle or the Rapid without a wristband. The short answer is yes. Children under the age of 16 accompanied by a wristband wearer can ride both the Shuttle and The Rapid for free during ArtPrize hours.
I am most excited about the sweet Symphony ticket discount! I’ll roll into James Bond after a pleasant day of checking out art.
OK, the question was “where do I get the writstband and the tour package?” The response from Paul Moore was “anywhere you register to vote.” I guess Paul must have assumed that we knew where to register to vote. I’m sure that if we knew where to register to vote that it would be the logical place to get the tour package!! Can someone else please help an out-of-towner coming in on Wednesday to see the show. Again, where do I get the tour package.
One place wristbands and tour packages are sold is the UICA AT 41 Sheldon Ave.
Abe, there is a list on this site under the “vote” tab. After you click the tab, there will be a box on the left with a “registration sites” link. All the info should be there for you. Hope that helps.
Excuse me, the link is “registration locations,” and I hope that you are aware that Wednesday is the last day to vote on any of the work. On Thursday we will start voting on Top 10. So if you want to vote on lots of work be ready for a big day!
