Insight: Why UAB Freshmen Should Take Advantage of Their Freshman Arts Card





Regardless of who you are, where you come from, or what you like, the idea of “free” strikes a nerve in any of us. Free food, free cars, free money – anything labeled “free” is sure to garner attention. And this is the idea that the Alys Stephens Center had in releasing it’s UAB Freshman Arts Card to the incoming students of 2009-2010. Our goal was to allow freshmen to “come into the light,” so to speak, by allowing them to experience a broad range of the arts, whether it be a concert, play, or dance, and all that for free. However, many freshmen have not yet taken advantage of the card yet. If not, you’re missing out. What is better than being able to see someone the likes of the Wailers or the upcoming Monterey Jazz Festival for no cost whatsoever? A standard student ticket costs $20, but with the Freshman Arts Card, you could see two shows (or one with a friend) for free. Why not take advantage? For more information, call (205) 975-ARTS.
