Staff Explorer Pass - Michigan Arts Festival 2026

The Michigan Arts Festival spotlights the vibrant university arts scene, serving as a broad invitation for everyone to engage with the arts at Michigan—our museums, theaters, and concert halls—to celebrate the role of the arts in research, learning, and community life.


In partnership with Voices of the Staff, the U-M Arts Initiative is offering the Michigan Arts Festival Staff Explorer Pass, made up of complimentary tickets for select campus events and extra special experiences for U-M staff members all throughout October! U-M Staff members from all three campuses are encouraged to participate and are welcome to register for as many or as few programs as they would like. Please note that limited space is available for several of the Staff Explorer Pass opportunities, but waitlists will be available if a Session is full.
